I'm stunned at the number for fundy (I counted four), so I'd like to hear just what those four and others have in mind when they advocate fundy.

I'm running a modded game, with different social engineering choices.

Politics:
Personally, I'd opt for more of an Anarchy or Oligarchy (Where all people have power, not just the majority, and all people have their desire fulfilled to some extent)

Otherwise, I'd opt for a police state. People are often too foolish to run themselves. But how do you find a worhty ruler? - Multiplayer SMAC, of course!

Economics:
More of a Patriotic Socialism than anything else (From each according to his ability, to each according to his need). People like to think they are fairly treated... in Communism, the powerful few are stifled. In capitolism, the many are stifled...
Sooner have many happy people than few, I think!
Free market, while it is natural, turns your society against itself.
Sooner have the society working for itself!

This is closest to Planned in the SMAC selections.

Values:
None of those in the SMAC selection.
Values: Freedom would be my option.
teaching an unrestriction from conventional values.

In SMAC, I'd have to go with Knowledge.

Future Society:
Eud and Cyb are close. As usual, I'd invent my own Eugenical ideology whereby the ideal being is emphasised, at the expense of less perfect beings.

Cyber in SMAC.

Got spare money?

Libetarian Democracy (strong protection for individual rights), a cross between all three economic choices - a Free Market tempered with strong regulation (Planned Elements) to prevent abuses, and a Green element to prevent environmental rape. Knowledge, of course, and either Cybernetic or Eudaimonia, I would have to see how the highly advanced societies were working before I made the choice, ask me in a couple of centuries, if we haven't made ourselves extinct .

Because most people here are idealists without a real understanding of economic systems in real life. *nodnod*

Why does it have to be one or the other?

Although I prefer not to discuss it at length in this forum, I'm assuming a friendly tone in your question, so I'll respond in brief:
As I said: Conservative, not Radical. It is entirely possible to incorporate deep religious values into every aspect of day-to-day life without becoming the least bit belligerent. The belief system to which I hold forswears violence and decries all the nastiness and horrors committed under the guise of any form of "religion" throughout the centuries. Also, without my faith and strength of conviction I would have sought an "exit" a long time ago, for I saw no purpose or reason to suffer life under these circumstances (a route my eldest sister chose despite all efforts at intervention).

Overall, I agree with your reasoning, but would the modifiers need to be adjusted? Because the net result (apart from Politics, Values, and Future) is: +2Economy -5Police -1Planet +1Industry.
