I still have to admire the Vanu, because their motivation is For Science!

No, their motivation is 'Kiss the ass of the alien overlords!' and they do what they're told. NC is for free humanity.

So this probably won't run on my laptop Looks pretty good though

That whole freedom thing is the whole problem, if my dwarves didn't cling to their precious freedom and just did what I told them my forts would run so much more smoothly. :p

No, their motivation is 'Kiss the ass of the alien overlords!' and they do what they're told. NC is for corperate profit disguised as free humanity.

FTFY.

If I'm going to be kissing something anyway, I'd rather go for alien overlord ass than government jackboot or megacorp schlong.

Well at least they die happy, holding their precious +Pig Tail Sock+ and thinking about that mule bone amulet artifact they once made.

Your dwarves are fairly communist, if you notice.

Communists have a leader. The dwarven king has no real power, because dwarves are controlled by their collective hive mind.

I guess the three factions' political ideologies boil down to (approximately) Authoritarianism, Libertarianism, and Theocracy.

I'd have said Fascism, Capitalism and Technocracy, but yours works, too. Anyway, backstory schmackstory I just want to shoot the different-colored ones.

More or less, yeah.
I was tempted to say Fascism, but the term Fascism is over-used.  I didn't want to slap that label on the TR unless they're radically nationalistic.
On the VS, I they came across to me more like religious transhumanists who worship the tech of a bygone civilization as holding the key to their salvation. Not exactly the embodiment of meritocratic ideals of the Technocracy movement.
And technically, Capitalism is more of an economic system than a political ideology.

Agreed. Maybe the NC are more Anarchist than Libertarian. Fascism is still a valid (if outdated) form of running a country. It has been used after WWII, and some parties in some countries still adhere to a subform of it.

Anyway, all three of them are evil, in a way, and more or less equally so. I love how the players (even a subset of them, like us, see the poll) actually have dispersed ourselves evenly across all three ideologies. It's kind of amazing that there's not one side of which almost ALL players think that they suck terribly and should die painfully.
