British Empire - Powerplay

Tod · Jun 12, 2015

Revisiting a previous post pre-powerplay, it looks to me like the British Empire is best replicated by the ways of Edmund Mahon.

One, he is Prime Minister, and he is all about trade, which was of course the basis of the British Empire.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Well he does look like the love child of Gordon Brown and Tony Blair.

Lol. I am torn between him and the Empire, as the "Royal Familiy" aspect of the empire seems to be kind of British.

There's definitely some strong historical influences in all the major factions. The Alliance always struck me as an analogy of the UN or EU.

Well just like the UN the Alliance can't seem to agree on anything or get anything useful done! (sorry, had to)

I will consider your applications.

Only the civilised sort will do.

Coffee drinkers need not apply.

And only if you drink the right tea, little finger extended.

Sorry old chap, I drink coffee and my AFB 108 trumps your beverage preferences.

- Federation = 'Murica (Liberals = Winters, Conservatives = Hudson)
- Empire = British Empire
- Alliance = European Union (?)
- Independent = "Terrorists"/Rebels, Utopians = Hippies (?) and Science focused faction ("we will advance science no matter the cost" motto)

Watch it, otherwise you get a first class trip to a Utopian 'learning' centre. I hear they show Falcon Crest and Dallas repeats until you recant.

I'm also surprised no one has mentioned sandwiches...either bacon sarnies in the morning or cucumber for afternoon tea.

Bacon sarnies are good anytime!
