Uhm I haven't actually played stellaris yet I just watched lets plays so IDK exactly how it works...

Name
The Most Serene Escargotligarchy lead by Grand Vizier Gary. Despite the all over the place naming this is a democracy or republic or something along those lines idk the governments.
Species
- The snail duders! They're like one of the only cute ones still left. I wish there were more cute species.
Government/Society
- Can I lean xenophile, materialist and militarist.
Flag
- Can I get like a heart or a flower in a nice really powerful violet or pink.
Violet
and
Deep Blue
<- these are like the national colors <3

I don't know traits and looking them up seems to give me an incomplete list. Probably sedentary though and you can maybe pick out the rest from my description.

The Most Serene Escargoligarchy (of Snails) is a free society where pursuit of peoples passions in science and art is prized above all else. There is no distinction like we see actually, study of "Aesthetic sciences" of all forms of art/music and design are taken very seriously and appreciation of love and the beautiful are understood just like science and knowledge of the world around us in that they work towards the same end of being tools for us to live more fulfilling and enriched lives. Politically the snails love to see and understand other species, but in seeing their oh so senseless suffering they feel an obligation to spread their own way of thinking to help them out, so in practice they are a bit... interventionist. Even though causing suffering hurts so much because these are some empathetic little duders in the long run it's necessary, like you wouldn't say the civil war should've been avoided because some people died, would you? To free so many people from oppression war is often just and necessary. In case it wasn't obvious these are some head in the clouds really idealistic motherfuckers.

but of course what they really want to be deep down inside~

Oh can you please make it democratic tho an escargotligarchy is nothing like our human word oligarchy I feel like it wouldn't fit. Our primitive primate brains can't comprehend that kind of government type (it was just a pun). That's it this time for sure. Thanks!

Okay that's the best flag. The snail duders are mesmerized by the vivid color scheme and sheer
purpleness
of it.

I still think Meat World sounds like something you don't want in your browser history

Do we have a choice wrt to these beings? They seem like good upstanding fellows and should be left in peace

Is it bad if I'm secretly hoping the other cool factions designed by us gang up and destroy our mafiascum protagonist?

We all know the true answer. Mods are sods!
This was the one faction that we know it just would never work out with. Mods and users are natural born enemies sadly.

(Not srsly mods I appreciate what you do)

I'm going to be honest, I think the worst might be a spy working for the snuggly ducklings who just showed up. Coincidence?

Woo!
After a (presumably) somewhat violent revolution, and being invaded in the first place so long ago by terrifying killer machines and mostly genocided, the shift away from a strong military is a bit unexpected!

Also oh god what have we scummers become. I'm for freedom as much as the next person but maybe we needed the mods after all, if they were the only thing keeping ourselves from going off the deep end...
