A guaranteed living wage, pension and unemployment benefits. If you want space Brits, thats House Calderon and the Taurian Concordat: Constitutional Monarchy supported by a parliament with lots of "Ministries", state sponsored free education for all citizens, have long standing almost irrational distrust for their neighbour that borders on outright hatred (we love the French really. EDIT: they also get the character shields.įWL, as states are a Holy Roman Empire/Austro Hungarian Empire deal. They are the biggest of the big 5 when it comes to military. They are a federal state for starters, they invest very heavily in their military, and they are fond of going on pre-emptive military expeditions to spread "Democracy and Freedom!". This came up in nother thread, i thought i might have been reading things completely wrong but thankfully others agreed with me:įed Suns are so clearly Space USA after the president has made his position hereditary and renamed it to prince. Draconis have a big Swedish region (Rasalhauge), Lyrans have a Scottish one that keeps trying to recede (Skye) Thinks Mechs are for jerks, focuses on aerospace.Īlso bear in mind that none of the factions are homogenous. Didn't get the memo about what game they live in, and they stick with pacifism and democracy. Outworlds Alliance: Nobody remembers they are there. Oberon Confederation: Pirates trying to become "legitimate" state with mixed results. Pretty decent guys all told, best education in the Periphery.
Taurian Concordat: Imagine Cold War USA, with the Federated Suns as the Red Menace. Magistry of Canopus: Matriarchal Space Amsterdam/Las Vegas. Pretends to be neutral, will commit atrocities to maintain its dominance. Namely in the way their ruling dynasty is the #1 supplier of insanity.Ĭomstar: Imagine the medieval Catholic church running Comcast, with no competition at all.
Individual liberty is for decadent enemies of the state! Varies between cartoonist supervillany and Proud Warrior Race land, depending on author.Ĭapellans Confederation: Culturally Chinese, but in many ways closer to North Korea. Fairly free, but massive rich/poor divide.ĭraconis Combine: Space Shogunate. Much more militarist than Lyrans, and way better at playing the game. Designated Good Guy faction in many books and games. Big mechs (see Lyran Scout Lance meme), often incompetent military leaders.įederated Suns: Space British Empire. Also pretty good record on individual liberty. Theoretically a superpower, constantly paralyzed by internal politics, but strong on individual freedoms. FWL: Space Poland-lithuania (for EU players) or Austria-hungary (for Victoria players).
