[Cawdor]

the original alliance consisted of italy, france, germany, GB, USA, spain. i was searching a bit but they didnt mention the smaller euros or canda/australia.

well the creators of the game where mostly serving the clich?s of the costumers (motly GB and USA). so they were basicly cooking:
- some backward spanish criminals
- some evil germans
- some stubborn japanese with exotic looks and ocean planets

french and italy ... er ... no politic clishes here on the first glimps ... so lets forget about them.
and i'm having a feeling that those polish and dutch names rather are the result of a lack of knowlage than anything story-related. most american players RPing germans choose polish names with "ski/sky" or even russians with "ow/ov" in the end of their name because they dont know it better. why should the developers of the game? i mean ... schulsky ... ? .. come on. this one is neither polish nor german.

it would be refreshing to have some italians or french guys in sirius tough. the upper left corner of the sector is just ... empty... put some of the old allies there:D

Edit: ok maybe i was a little hard here. poland and germany are neighbours for a long time now and there were quite some changes of territories in the last centuries with the related migration processes. so from a foreign perspective, it should be really hard to see the diffrence between those names =/
