I expected to be engaged in a higher degree of enjoyable time involvement when I read up on what this game engine offers.

Definitely sounds like you can devote more time to the game than most players so that will limit the audience. People are able to complete their turns at different speeds but I find late game turns can easily take a couple of hours (assuming I'm at war).
So your best bet is maybe a couple of fast pace games that only go up to a 48 hour hosting interval. That way you could rotate them and, once you reach late game, be able to spend 1-2 hours a day on each game. The catch is it will take some time to reach that point (assuming you do make it that far). This will tempt you to join a lot of games but that can be dangerous because if you do well you may find it's too much even for you to have four late stage games going at once.
Best to be patient at first - later it will be easier to balance having a mix of time consuming late stage games and fast moving early stage games.
I wonder if a blitz might be something you'd like? Get a few people together for an afternoon of quick play?

That's much more reasonable. Sure, it's a high prov/player count but the total number of provinces isn't extreme. Now, I'm still no a fan of gem gens regardless of map size but I won't push that on you.
