Well according the the backstory Gallente are French. However, the Gallente emblem looks a lot like the Romanov family crest.

Nah.
Caldari = space Italians.
Gallente = space French.
This also explains the close relationship and extended animosity between the two.

Considering that many European countries are still monarchies; including Spain and the UK, I highly doubt one could consider the Gallente Federation to represent Europe.

You have it backwards. Gallente are the US, just look at the original Caldari vs. Gallente war. Just like the US, the Gallente claim to be all about freedom and democracy, but the moment you try to use your freedom and democracy to do something the Gallente don't like, they send in the fleet to kill you, and they don't care much about how many innocent civilians die in the process.
Replace "Caldari" with "Iraq" in that story and you have a pretty good description of the past ~10 years.

Not entirely true, American policy is heavily influenced by corporate needs, not run by them.

I always got the impression that the Caldari megacorps were more based on Japanese businesses, especially with the duty that they (theoretically) have to the state as well as their own profits. Gallente seem more like 'the West' in general, with Europe style ultra-liberalism, US style democracy-or-else and the massive corruption of both.

àspeaking of which, I wonder if we'll ever see anything along the lines of the Pueblo Corporate Council in Shadowrun.

Amarr = U.S./Iran (theocracy)
Caldari = Japan/Korea (megacorporations: google zaibatsu and chaebol)
Gallente = France/Northern Europe (corrupt bureaucratic democracy)

Not saying it's not democratic, but there is still a queen, and probably very soon a new king.

Wait, you are saying the EU isn't run by corporations? IMF would like to have a word with you.
The IMF practically owns Greece and more are falling prey to them.

If you mean the IMF is a corporate institution you are mistaken. BTW China(+ N-Europe) owns the U.S. following your line of thought..... Also, capitalism thrives in theocracies, democracies etc. has nothing to do with the kind of government.
Amarr = U.S./Iran (theocracy)
Caldari = Japan/Korea (megacorporations: google zaibatsu and chaebol)

But the Caldari/Japanese corporations behave totally differently from American ones, the just share the name 'corporation'.
In Japan, to use an example I vaguely remember, the government suggests 'we need to cut down on producing x and focus on y', and the corporations do it. They feel a duty to the good of the country and its people. By contrast, a Gallente/American corporation acts along the lines of 'we're going into the x market so it'd be good if you could give us a tax break and contract, but feel free to raise taxes on y to screw our competitors'.
