Suggestion for the mod concerning Democratic Crusaders
Hello. I've got a suggestion for the mod.

Warning: Somewhat long.

I've noticed that one of the factions (the Imperialist Faction) in my game spawns with the ethic of Authoritarian/Militarist. I'm playing a Democratic Crusaders (Libertarian/Militarist/Xenophile) nation, and I feel that to add more flavor and to rectify this issue, there should be a Libertarian/Militarist faction. You could call it "Jacobin" or "Revolutionary" as the faction would be in favor of Defensive Pacts, the violent imposition of regime change against autocratic states, equal rights for all citizens, a benevolent subjugation policy, a Belligerent diplomatic stance, and the preservation of domestic democracy. Ideally, this faction would spawn in place of the standard Militarist or Imperialist faction if the "Interventionist" Civic is used.

Also, I'd recommend that the Interventionist Civic be locked behind the ethics of Libertarian/Militarist instead of Militarist/Xenophile, as the name of the ethic/its flavor text implies that intervention will be conducted. One can be xenophobic and still wish to spread democracy/sapient rights in the name of national security (Neoconservatism) or genuine idealism (Liberal Interventionism) See the GOP or the Democratic Party respectively during the Iraq War for example.
