…if you haven’t played Sid Meier’s Alpha Centari before, I have to say this does frequently lead to conflicts later on.
Everyone is confident in the unchecked might of capitalism until the mindworms attack.

Alpha Centauri is very late 90s, “end of history” coded indeed.
“As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth’s final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.”
-Commissioner Pravin Lal
-“U.N. Declaration of Rights”
