EuchreJack -> RE: Why are Federalists and Humanists always unwilling to form a victory pact? (1/5/2021 1:48:21 AM)

I'm just guessing here, but reading the manual on the Federalists, they're still warmongers that want to take over the world, but they're willing to cooperate in a limited fashion. Perhaps they represent the Soviet Union under Stalin and his successors. They weren't going to back down from their ambitions to unite the world under their ideals, but they would engage in trade and did not fight large scale wars of aggression.
The name itself probably comes from the more obscure Federalist party of the early United States. Remember that less than 30 years after gaining independence, they engaged in an attempted land grab or "tried to continue the revolution". Diplomacy was also generally limited in those early days, what with most of the other civilized countries still adhering to that outmodelled form of government known as "Monarchy".
EDIT: It's actually a pun, as the Federalists were against the War of 1812...
