Did you miss the part in history class where knights wore crosses on their chests and invaded the middle east in the name of christianity? You know, the crusades? Hmmm... 24th Imperial Crusade.... where have I heard that?
Actually the crusades was not a war of aggression on the part of christians. The Vatican and Knights Templar just got sick of the fact that muslims constantly raided, murdered and raped Christian pilgrims traveling to and fro the holy land.
(No im not a christian or bigoted towards islam, I hate all Abrahamic religions equally being a militant atheist, but I do try to keep a good grasp of history)

Erm, far from all caldari have asian features (only the achura does, while the civire look more like europeans).
It's more like Caldari = the axis forces of WW2 (Germany, Japan etc.) but with a more capitalistic spin than fascist... In Space  |

It's more like Caldari = the axis forces of WW2 (Germany, Japan etc.) but with a more capitalistic spin than fascist... In Space Its not that the are represented in EVE by physical features but there are a great many aspects of an industrial Japanese society as well as colonial Europeans in America. The only reason you might have believed that about the Caldari is the recent period of state political control under Tibus Heth who while being rather.....unstable did indeed bring back the notions of meritocracy and corporate pride. Currently now the 8 CEO of the Megacorporations rule the State once again.
No the reason I believe that is because I look at the obvious sources that ccp has taken inspiration from when creating the caldari in terms of aestethics, culture etc.
But I like the fact that Caldari are a bunch of hypercaptalist space-*****. I have a soft spot for the Naziesque and militant in games, which is why I love the Imperium of Man in Warhammer 40.000 (although Amarr seem closer to them), the Helghast in Killzone etc.
The old "american good guys/heroes"-trope is just sooo boring and uninteresting compared to hardcore space-*****.
