Ctrl click on the globe and then type "Pippin" to choose the red country 
and you will get all resources. (But you have to mine first.)

Win Battle:
When you get attacked (and you will), click on the cancel button when your 
minister asks you if you want him to deploy the troops. Then click end 
deployment without placing any units. Then click cancel to the minister 
again and click end deployment again but this time you will get a message
saying that you have beaten back the enemy. Note: This only works in 
provinces without a fort in them so if you have a fort, you should fortify it.
