Editing Divinity: Dragon Commander (section)

===Races and Ambassadors===
====Elves====
Elves are presented as both nouveau riche and old upper-class liberals in the game, being in favor of "Drudanae leaf" which apparently has both medical applications as a sedative and for recreational use, being for amnesty for illegal immigrants, and being defiantly against anything that harms the environment including deforestation and factory farms. 
They are also not as morally upright as they'd have you believe; your ambassador asks for an Imperial pardon for an Elf that lead a dictatorial government in your name simply because it would be a talking point against the Elves were he to be recognized as having committed crimes against humanity/sapient beings. 

If you pursue the ideals if the Elven race to the fullest, you end up implimenting labor reforms like establishing minimum wage, outlawing child labor, giving holidays off, and setting up a regulated work week. 

====Imps====
Imp politics are complicated simply because most Imps [[moot|don't care about issues unrelated to their interests]]. They support anything that expands industry, supports scientific research, and are against any form of social control including a limitation on the amount of children one can have and of breastfeeding bans in public. At one point, their ambassador simply flips a coin to decide his position, and is angry when you go against the result. 

Maxing out their favor ends with you allowing them to dig up ancient Elven cemeteries and dump the bodies in landfills to get uranium to build atomic bombs.

====Lizardfolk====
Lizards, as they are usually called, are probably the closest race to modern liberal-centrists.  They generally support reasonable, moderate options, and are socially liberal and fiscally conservative.  Their senator is a grand, cool-headed old lady who will generally be much more cordial about you disagreeing with her than the many angry, angry old people that surround her, and she generally comes out as the most principled of them all. [[Dragonborn| Also, yes, the lady-lizards have boobs.]]  Please, check your rage at the door, our stewards will return it to you when the voyage is over.

Maintaining their favor will lead to the institution of a democratic government, to massive popular support but the abject horror of every other race's governments and, depending on how one interprets the "Luck" stat, the gods themselves.  [[Perturabo|Heh.]]

====Dwarves====
The dwarves, as one can probably expect, are basically the Republican party.  They are both socially and fiscally conservative, being in favor of both deregulated big business and old-tyme "family values." Their senator is, naturally, never ''not'' wearing a top hat, fox-fur ruff, and about ten pounds of bling.  He also has a thick Scottish accent, because some things are unavoidable.

Toeing the dwarf party line will lead to smoking being taught in schools to children.  You'll be rolling in dosh from all the money tobacco taxes bring in, but population will drop like a rock from all the cancer going on.

====Undead====
The undead, hilariously, are the hyper-religious faction.  They are all super-uptight, generally in favor of horrifyingly medieval punishments for criminals, and reproduce entirely via alchemical processes that grow new skeletons.  Their senator, Yorick, is... well, he's probably exactly what you're picturing.

Sticking with with the undead will generally lead to old-testament treatment of enemies, giving morale penalties to enemy troops but turning public opinion against you in a big way.
