Caldari: Yeah I would suppose Axis WWII ish, strong State. Maybe the old USSR.
Gallente: French/American, they let you have guns in their space, all about democracy, freedom, and presidential elections that take forevor to determine the winner of (well and Gallente are French related)
Amarr: Early (1000-1600AD) Vatican. Old Europe, about that time as well.
Minmatar: Africa, the Minmatar were enslaved and they didn't have much space of their own (Euro-colonization of their continent,) plus it's impossible to ignore the obvious racial appearance. ________

Edited by: Noriath on 09/07/2006 04:14:08 Socially Caldari are most like fascist nations of the early 20th century, except instead of being controlled by a single dictator they are controlled by an elite of the most wealthy people. The Caldari State owns its citicens, they just don't realise it because they are being bombarded with consumerism and mindless entertainment that keeps them stupid and subserviant, while being scared into obedience and discipline by their state creating an underdog-persona for itself, always outnumbered by unfriendly empires.
Gallente is an accurate representation of all the highs and lows of democracy, at the same time you do have pretty much absoloute freedom in the federation, but also the government is a beurocratic jungle full of peacounters, sleezebags and suckups that gets nothing done untill someone with true ambition steps up and highjacks the federation for a wild ride of radical policy. At the same time everyone within the federation is so obsessed with fighting for their own causes that even though the keep well informed and are political, they seldomly get a glimpse at the bigger picture.

I'd say that:
A system like the Caldari have doesn't exist right now - we currently have politics ruling over the economy, while the Caldari state is corporations being the government (the comparison to China is imo completely off). Closest to this would probably be medieval/renaissance cities that were dominated not by aristocratic families, but traders. It's by the way a common cyberpunk theme (Shadworun anyone :)?).
Gallente are your very standard 20th century, democratic, bureaucratic state. Nothing much to say here.
Amarr = Late Roman (=Christian) Empire. Pretty evident imo, strong religious belief focused around an Emperor, slavers, desperately trying not to lose any more territory, dying slowly ;).
Minmatar are several tribes unified by a cause (the Amarr). They are growing together into some sort of state because they have to, with plenty of internal disagreements along the way, and they've only recently gained their independence from a foreign entity - sounds similar to most African countries around the middle of the 20th century to me.

You make it sound more like England
Hmm, run by the wealthy - Check Owns it's citizens - Check Keeps the stupid and subservient - Definately a check. Scared into obedience - Check outnumbered by unfriendly's - Check
Yup, that's England all right.

I didnt know they had given the african 'looking' minmitar a low intel point. Thats kinda..... uncool, if perhaps inadvertant.
US politics time then: Gallente: Democrats. Not into small govt, but your likely to keep your constitution and civil rights intact. Caldari: Republicans. Well liked by big corporates, but susperct on rights issues. Ammar: The "Religious Right". Angry Borg politics. Also can't understand where the cottonpickers went. Sympathetic to the Caldari/republicans Minmitar: Think "black panthers". Righteous cause, but perhaps a little nutty and weapon heavy. Would do well to perhaps talk to the Gallente.
Are folks SURE this line of thinking won't annoy SOMEONE?

Just say Jyhad. It predates the term Crusade, and is still current.

I think only one other poster came close to pinning down the Amarr. I think they are most like the old Ottoman empire as well. The whole Caliphate/theocratic type of government, join us or die attiude is almost identical.

Whilst attempting to find parallels between EVE content and real life may appear to be interesting for some people, this kind of open debate tends to drift off into a political direction and can become quite heated. As a result people may become offended and the resulting flaming begins. For this reason, this thread will be locked.
