While I'm not in any hurry to enforce racial purity, the absolutely ridiculous level of xenophile attraction I've been getting in Banks, while not actually being a xenophile empire, is making me modestly irritated. I mean, I'm officially Egalitarian/Materialist/Pacifist, I have been at peace for a long, long, long time, I have One Vision as an ascension perk, and xenophilia attraction is easily overwhelming my pacifist attraction.
Hey guys, let's focus on making ludicrous amounts of money and how awesome our living standards are, rather than clamoring for more alien species in our republic and asking me to have diplomatic ties with all my neighbors, like the psychotic slavers directly on our borders. Ugh. I mean, it's not like I have bad policies for aliens, I literally set them all to the same rights as my own Daera, I just would prefer their focus be less 'aliens are awesome!' and more 'peace and prosperity'.
