I think  loans should be available to new players if they are willing to make some commodity deposits into the bank.Else,facing cash crunch is likely. Market is available.But, selling of commodities is not always immediate.

 
Welcome to TKR, @Mayan.

The reason loans are limited for new players is the high risk of loss.  Many of our newest members play for a few weeks and then leave the game.  It doesn't grab everyone.  As a result, if we were to loan out money to these players, it is the equivalent of simply deleting money from our bank.  This is not something we're too interested in doing.  

However, we do offer new nation aid to members meeting specific requirements.  Further, once you get your military up and running, "cash crunch" shouldn't be a problem.

To add to what Dear Leader said above, if you get a loan, you should be able to pay it back. That requires your nation to generate enough  income from commerce (see revenue tab in game). As a small nation, you do not generate that kind of income. You gain money through raiding. 

To recap that, if you want a loan, you should be able to repay it. If you think you can pay it back by raiding, then just do the raids and keep that money. No need for a loan. 

If you hang around (and we hope you do!) you will be surprised by how many players join us and just go inactive to never be heard from again. 

Imagine if we loaned out millions of dollars to people who just left! The losses would really hurt TKR. 

I understand that it sucks being strapped for cash. But I promise that you can make it through raiding. Or buy purchasing and selling credits (if you want to). But raiding will get you to the point where you are big enough to take loans.
