Caldari and Gallente don't even come close to taking any political or social philosophy to any extreme. And what is the "logical extreme" of liberalism, anyway?

Banks' Culture.

Caldari are a military power, bit like the usa.
Gallente are being more liberal, which is nothing like France.
yet its French heritage.

Gallente are most like the medieval French, using, heavily armed and armored, but slow knights. Caldari are more like the English during the 100 Years War, using, high range longbows. See the history books for the outcome. :P

Caldari: hardcore libertarian ultra-capitalist nutcases. Thankfully they don't have a real-world country yet.

I wouldn't say libertarian. Caldari is a bunch of megacorporations that are intertwined with the government and comes with a fierce sense of nationalism.

I'd call Caldari Corporatist before anything else.

Honestly I have to disagree with pretty much every comparison that's been made in this thread about these things. I doubt there are any direct parallels between the warped American definitions of liberal and conservative and the Eve factions. I think the following is about as well as the Eve factions can be summarized:

Gallente: Permissive society that embraces many cultures and ideas. Supports the people who can't support themselves.

Caldari: Rigid society based heavily on honor and discipline, similar perhaps to pre-WWII Japan.

Amarr: A society in self-denial of expression and passion. The emphasis on loyalty to God and monarch does not seem all that much different from medieval European views on hereditary inheritance of authority as ordained by the divine.

Minmatar: While there are comparisons to sub-national political systems that could be made, Minmatar society is more of an amalgamation of general ideas regarding things like freedom and the resistance to iron-fisted authority. There is no actual political system or nation that could serve as a realistic parallel to this, although that really wasn't the point anyway. CCP states in the Art of Eve book that the Minmatar are modeled more off of punk culture and other such subcultures.

Actually in one of the Chronicles or news items it said that the Caldari State doesn't really extend welfare to people, and that's why Caldari citizens were migrating to Gallente stations. So corporate-socialist doesn't really apply.
