Research Speed
To raise your Research speed you must spend 5 years working on Transport and Communication and only one other Milestone. You must research one item at the new level before you can move on (this rule does not apply for you first boost).
 * Modern: 2-5 years (Europe)
 * Civilised: 5-8 years (South and Central America)
 * Tribal: 8-11 years (North America)

Alien Tech
Will be given out by how many pixles of land you are from the alien colony, every 10-15 years using Random. org

The further you are the less chance you will have of getting a piece (2-5 pieces).

To start with:

North American Nations: 2 pieces each

South and Central America: 1 peice each

Europe: No peices (you will have to descover the aliens before you are elegible. This can be done by sharing a border with them or a country that borders them).

Alien Tech can be sold, shared or lost (in the case of a devastating attack).
