| 1 | !!Representations of the main factions |

| 3 | While not looked over much, each of the three main factions (UEF, Cybran Nation, and Aeon Illuminate) take a strong inspiration from real-life societies and cultures, as seen in both the histories, themes, and aesthetics of the separate factions. |

| 5 | !!!United Earth Federation |
| 6 | The UEF is naturally the UnitedSpaceOfAmerica, representing itself as a presidential democracy with a diverse set of characters and comparable aesthetics of its armed forces. However, it also incorporates the negative aspects in its history including years of discrimination (only with symbionts instead of people by color) and practice of imperialism as displayed in its history as the Earth Empire. Further proving its role as TheEmpire is its desire to unite the galaxy under its banner, seeing itself as a world peacekeeping force existing to protect it from terrorists and religious fanatics, and its endgame weapon Black Sun being synonymous to the nuclear bomb in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. |

| 8 | Regardless, the expansion shows more positive aspects with the original government lost and under [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure General William Hall]]. Despite years of transgression, the General and the player completely set aside their differences with their former adversaries and become the core founders of [[TheAlliance the Coalition for the Defense of Humanity]], comparable with the formation of the Allies in the mentioned world war, the League of Nations, and the current United Nations. He even goes as far as to order his men to put down a GeneralRipper when his actions threatened both an important mission and a truce with the other factions. After the war is over, the UEF’s prejudice against the Cybrans and Aeon are marginalized to create a lasting peace. |

| 10 | !!!Cybran Nation |
| 11 | While not outright stated, the Cybrans draw many parallels to the ideals of the Soviet Union or at least Russia. The Cybran Nation is designed to be like an ideal socialist state, where everyone was equal, individual, and united under its main leader and founder Dr. Gustav Brackman. Unlike similar demagogues in the past (i.e. Lenin, Stalin, and Mao), Dr. Brackman can be seen as a true absolute founder who cares very well for his people, to the point he calls them all children. The tactics of the Cybran are also comparable as they engage in uprisings, terrorism, professional espionage, subversion, and proxy wars instead of a head-on fight to confront its enemies. |
