The UFC party is like the Republican party.

The DIA is like the democrat party.

In all seriousness, they sort of are and sort of not. In this game, both sides want war -- the question is how much. The DIA is for war in moderation, and building when we can. They see war as a way of furthering our nation just enough to give us an economic or political advantage. The UFC wants to be the biggest military power in the world, with us being in nearly constant wars with everyone. By their reasoning, each war is just a prequel to the next.

Both side have merit (which is why I remain an Independent). They are both valid ways to win a Civ 3 game, and are both represented by infulential and respected leaders.

I'm not sure if I'd call it a straight democratic to republican contrast though... it's really just two different styles of playing the game.

WHAT you want does not determine your political / moral / any alignment. WHY you do or don't, does.

Ex:

In the US, democrats want to achieve lower drug persciption costs so that seniors can actually live a little longer without burdening their families, and causing years of heart break.
In the US, republicans want to achieve lower drug persciption costs to try to get the public to shut up.

As you can see....

right now both parties are dying a slow death anyway

well about the comparison, politics in RL, are nothing like in todays world. they are much more similar to Ancient times. i think the only parallel between the Demos-GOP and UFC-DIA is that the UFC/Republicans are farther to the right, and the DIA/Democrats are farther to the center

Was trying not to get political (I DON'T want to get into an OT flame war), but that's funny.

I think the closes comparision would be the UFC equals Sparta and DIA equals Athens.

If you have to assign one party to be the democrats and one the republicans, the DIA is definitely the democrats. However, as people have said, neither is a very good comparison.

Duddha's comparison is good though. It fits very well.

The problem with such comparisons is that the Republicans' and Democrats' (heck, ALL political parties) have a very large part of their policy focused on domestic issues, of which we have none here.
