New Sponsor Ideas

[King of Zoot]

What are some ideas for new Sponsors?

I got Australia:

Unique Unit: All terrain rover that can drive up and dow slopes.

Unique Building: Macropod dome. An out of dome farm that grows kangaroos.

I've probably played too much Crusader Kings II; but when I saw the Church of the New Ark sponsor I thought that would likely garner interest (in the gameworld back on Earth) from other religious organizations — and it would be fun if they added the mother of all churches: The Vatican.

They do have a Pontifical Observatory, after all, and have held a consistent interest in space exploration. The discoverer of the Big Bang theory was a Belgian priest.

Special building would be a monastery dome where all inhabitants would be considered employed in a vocation (without using resources), celibate, and they would not lose any status while inside except hunger. Food requirements for the colony would be reduced. Research would be higher than New Ark but funding would be less. Colonists would not all be religious but there would be a higher chance of producing Saints.

Special unit could be a mobile clinic/sanatorium that can travel quickly between habitats, (kind of like a Red Cross/Confessional) to wherever there is a colonist in distress — with a chance to reform renegades back to the path of obedience.

Along those lines a Knights Of Saint John sponsor could be fun.

Their unique building would be a Bastion, a microdome constructed entirely out of concrete. Has lower comfort than normal but has a built in moxie and can shrug off meteor strikes.

Unique vehicle would be a pilgrim class rocket ship which is maller and slower then normal but can be built on mars from local resources.

I got another idea; Oceanian Federation

They are refugees from global warming who travel to Mars to find a new home. Their special limitation is that they can only call passenger rockets from Mars and have to use supply drops to get resources, however:

Unique Vehicle: Refugee Rocket, can only carry colonists and automatically unpacks into a small refugee dome when it lands.

Unique building: Trade SCUD: A converted missile launcher that shoots resources into orbit for funding. Can also shoot resources to other colonies for trade.

Or how about North Korea? Nuclear power production is increased but tourism is restricted.

Unique building: People's Monument. A large statue raising morale in all nearby habitats.

Unique unit: Unha Rocket. Can be shot at rival colonies to blow up a supply depot or outside resource building.

What about Poland?
Unique Unit: None, Poland cannot into space
Unique Building: None, Poland cannot into space
I think it will be fun to play Poland. Full different game.
