	It sounds to me like you failed the document-check at the beginning,
 and the game, thinking you are a software pirate, is punishing you.  I have
not played the Mac version, but in the IBM version, after about 20 seconds of
starting the game, a window pops up asking you to type in certain population
figures from the manual.  If you cannot enter them correctly, the game starts
to rain disaster on you.
