I vote government?

The Enclave is back great America! and we are coming to liberate you!

Alright, we are gonna be starting just like we did in round 7 with the accelerated start to get this game rolling. (i may ask you to change faction types if needed) I need everyone's Faction Name and traits in my PM's along with a starting system. Your starting system cannot directly border another claimed spot meaning you at least need 1 empty system between you and other claimed systems (Govs only). if you are apart of a non government faction you can put your oupost anywhere besides on other factions colonies unless given permission!        1) For Govs; - A fully surveyed home system, meaning every planet and moon in your HS is already surveyed and ready to be mined  - A free medium tech of your choice - 300b in starting monies for units and buildings - One colony with a starting population of 26m inhabitants in your HS  If someone would prefer to forgo the colony then they can instead select an additional medium tech to start with.   2) For non-Govs - Outposts in 5 systems to start with, rather than 3 - A free medium tech of your choice - 45b in starting monies for units and buildings - One colony with a starting population of 26m inhabitants in a system in which you have an outpost (it can't be in another players' HS) If someone would prefer to forgo the colony then they can instead select an additional medium tech to start with.
