      Utopian dreams for united Humanity are nice, but obviously impossible. Centralized governments always cause more harm than good, the only possible scenario for a united Humanity thats actually better than disunited Humanity is when there is an actual, external threat to Human existance that unites us, in all other cathegories uniting Humanity only creates a giant power structure that lacks competition, which creates an anormous levels of corruption, degeneracy and decay that will always lead to its catastrophic collapse. The only way a unified Humantiy could be a utopia is when each nations interest is equally represented by the federation and the federation itself doesn't have enough power over nations to create the unsustainable levels of corruption and decay.

      Same. I feel like our culture is a bit excessive on the nihilism at times. I like a nihilistic faction as much as anybody - but having some actual people who are trying to be good guys and actually mean it is nice. Also more realistic - most people are in fact the heroes of their own story. There are plenty of people who are committed to higher ideals, and sometimes they find each other and make a new goverment.
      And when that happens, those rare times, civilization advances for centuries.

      Aaaaaand on Twitter they said the UFN has the mitarist ethic. But also the diplomatic corps and parliamentary system civics. The UFN is not the UFP from Star Trek but more like the UN from The Expanse, or the UNSC from Halo, or the Systems Alliance from Mass Effect, it's the union of many powers, which exist, but are in competition only in the greater federation. It's an emergency government capable of all to defend humanity, but it will always employs diplomacy first, and it is not closed to diplomatic relations and open politics.
      It will be really interesting to see it because it will evolve and change through the whole game.
      One of the most interesting nations by far. It will be different from the endless wars and conquests of the Greater Terran Union.

    I wonder how the UFN will approach colonization. Will the colonies be considered as offshoots of nations from earth initially (and eventually later on form their own nations within the federation, a bit like in the commonwealth), or would they be considered as new-formed nations from the get-go (maybe being settled on join effort by various members of the federation)?

      @Nikolai301000 4 роки тому +1

      I was wondering something very similar. I was thinking that if it’s the Federations goal to upkeep national cohesion and quell any potential rebellion due to varying political factions, then it would probably be in their best interest to make several different colonies on each planet they settle, each representing a country or commonwealth that’s part of the UFN. That way no one country gains a political or economic advantage over others part of the Federation, possibly preventing future political or military conflicts between nations.

      I really like the Common Ground origin, but if you have the wrong spawn, you need to restart a game because it's not gonna be fun. It's the same thing with hegemony start, I made an empire with that origin, but EVERYTIME I tried to play it I got a wrong spawn and it's too hard to maintain your hegemony leader status if you have a bad spawn.
      Hegemony would be cooler than Common Ground if you always had the best spawn of the empires, and you could block the others easier. Without it, I prefer Common Ground, more peaceful, chill, and easy to discover.

    I really hope this one wins. I can't vote, but the flag is beautiful, and the game will be as well. It doesn't have a background as good as the GTU history, or the Antares Confederacy background, but the influence the community will have on the game and the ever-changing political parties of the United Federation of Nations will make this empire the most interesting of the five propositions.
    One thing people need to understand is that it's absolutely not the vanilla UNE, and not like the United Federation of Planets in Star Trek. It's not an utopia, it's not perfect, it is more like The Expanse's United Nations but more efficient, or the UNSC from Halo. It is the way Humanity chosen to survive, there remain poverty, and famine, but great changes came and are coming. Also, it is a military commissariat, and that's cool because it's not as peacefully boring as the UFP in Star Trek and the vanilla UNE. It's the real aspect of how I would have make the UNE as a Paradox Interactive developper, the union of humanity, which is trying to progress and prosper through unity, democracy, justice, freedom and equality, but it can strongly defend itself, and even conquest many worlds if it need to do so.
    We are humanity, we're a curious species, but we can defend ourselves. We master our environments through our adaptability and our intelligence, and even on the edge of extinction, we'll unite to survive.

      Now in the East they retained & maintained their Civilizations for the most part and are now looking back to their past to build their future.
      If anything in the real life scenario it looks like we are living in the fall of the western civilization or maybe a big part of it maybe not all of the west but most of it.
      In fact one can argue many parts of the West is already post Western while ironically Russia is a bit more capitalist, and much more Western than Britain, Canada, and America is at this point.

      Indeed, multiculturalism hasn't exactly been that beneficial in keeping the West at least somewhat unified.
      Not to mention how diversity hasn't been the "strength" so many claimed it would be.
      There remain _some_ bastions of *actual* Western Civilization luckily though.
      Still, there is a long time between 2020 and 2101, and when I look at the last 80 years I would say that *a lot* can change. So maybe things will drastically change before 2101 once more.
      And Stellaris civilizations don't have to be realistic with the current issues, they just have to make for a good story. Which I think they do.

      Although, for meme and epic-ness value, I love 40k playthroughs, I'm far too much of a softie to really play as the imperium, so I'll usually be egalitarian and have a mixed approach to diplomacy with generally a defensive approach.
      But to get back to the point : I like this faction too from an ideological point of view, but I think it lacks something in terms of ambitions, it doesn't have much drives that would help define its culture, or its priorities.
      Like, for the GTU you had protecting humanity, consolidating resources to protect humanity, and seeking out potential threats. This, in addition to the how the GTU came about, really helped in explaining why the GTU was how it was, really helped in giving the GTU remarkable features, and helped making the playthrough a story, because basically any action could be interpreted through this lens and it allowed for easy empathy with the GTU.

      And how they managed not to shoot themselves, as well as the fact that they even managed it, is precisely why so many people love 40k.
      From what I've seen, there are many reasons why people like 40k, from merely the diversity of cultures and species, the nobility of some of them, the thrilling feeling of 40k's mix of hope and despair, the sheer scale and resulting epicness of it all, the fact that it's bordereline one of the best example of "humanity fuck yeah" in fiction, doubled with one of the best examples of "humanity you fucked up" in fiction.
      And also because it really looks cool. That's probably one of the most important factors ^^
      All joking aside (only the last sentence was a joke, but still), 40k is filled with really interesting contrasts in, and between the factions, contrasts of nobility and villainy, altruism and egoism, humanity and inhumanity, old vs new, which makes for a really interesting setting.

    This is similar to the nation I play all the time (I'm one of those folks who ALWAYS plays as humans). The Alliance of Planetary Governments.
    Born from the harsh reality of the 22nd century, where nations fought over the scarce resources alloted to them, the seeds of the APG grew. Member states of the UN and the New Warsaw Pact constantly fought, but a single senator of the European Collective (Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, and most of the other nations of Europe who banded together in unison against a combined onslaught from a newly reformed Russian Bloc) had ideals beyond humanity.
    In the year 2123 Humanity had found an object deep within the solar system, a gateway. While most nations were amazed, the overwhelming nature of modern day left is as an amazing discovery put entirely on the back burner.
    The lone Senator, Elia Martinez, found a way to force peace. She contacted the heads of multiple nations space organizations and began to form a small but powerful group of likeminded intellectuals. Some of the wealthiest men and women on the planet, having long since becoming bastions for scientific discovery, joined Martinez's group, who had now begun to call itself The Alliance.
    The Alliance did not immediately out itself to its various governments, but began to consolidate political power, and over the course of 35 years they slowly moved humanity towards peace by preying upon that most basic of human principles... curiosity.
    While neither side would truly align, both the UN and the NWP agreed to temporarily halt hostile action and focus on joint study of the Gate. There humanity found a pathway to the stars, and the Alliance of Planetary Governments was born.
    The APG, headed by Elia Martinez, would hold sole jurisdiction of human held space, while the governments of various nations and planetary bodies would be free to enact their own laws planetside. Additionally, the APG was granted authority to command the military forces of all member states should a crisis arise.
    Now, Humanity had a new lease on destiny, and a will to see what was beyond.

    Sounds a bit like a civilian led Systems Alliance (Mass Effect).

    How is this faction different from the vanilla UNE?

    honestly despite being generic in science fiction I like it more than the previous ones. stellaris galaxy every two months is going to shit and it would be nice to find a faction that still maintains a white morale and does not fall or try to avoid falling before despair

    If there's game info about these potentials on Facebook or Twitter or even your main site... you guys did a very good job of obfuscating it. 'Cause I can't find any detail about this one anywhere or no matter how hard I Google. I don't see why you can't link it directly if there's more to read.
