Adam - I really enjoyed the game. I think you are an excellent GM.
I honestly believe that Austria and I could have beaten France - England has I not made that terrible stuff up a few seasons ago but not checking any of my moves or emails and submitting blindly. Either way the game was locked.
I'll write more AFTER i'm done with my reports.

I now have draw votes from all four surviving players. DC 211 Terrorform is declared a 2-way draw between Matt and Trout. Mike and Steve survive. Greg, Guile, and Mark, um, don't.
I invite all 7 players to write EOGs. If necessary, I will get out my gold-ink pen and fine stationery to hand-engrave invitations, because (especially as this is my first game GMing seismic) I really would like to know all of your experiences. Somewhere in there, I will also write a GM's EOG.
At the end of his concession, Mike declared with a lot of exclamation points "Until the next Seismic game!!!!" That should not be too far into the future. I will take a short time to revise the Seismic rules (hopefully incorporating brilliant, incisive comments from your EOGs), and then I will advertise for another game. I would like your advice on a map/scenario. Did you like it with Standard? Would you prefer more players (i.e. more chaos)? Is there a different map (say Modern, or Aberration, or Five Italies, or World War IV -- NOT)? Do you think it would work better in a game with early expansion or with nations starting cheek-to-jowl? You get the idea.
Thank you all for making this first experience with seismic so easy to GM. You're an excellent septet of players.
