Caldari because of lore and ideology.
The four factions were very much based on western political thought and tradition as it is understood by Europeans
The conservative factions are Amarr and Caldari, the liberal factions are Gallante and Minmatar
The Amarr are the compassionate traditionalists and the Caldari are the Militaristic Capitalists, both which share high priority in stability and hierarchy.
The Gallante are literally the "liberals" (as it is understood in the US), if it feels good do it as long as it doesn't hurt anyone no other morality is needed, the Minmatar are the minorities who are ethnocentric and operate in such blocs. Both are united by their simple hatred of other hierarchies.
There is even cultural conflict between both allied groups which we can go on all day analyzing the political aspects of it but in regards to Caldari
They are the Early America of space, broke away from an older power, the early corps that made up the nation were like the early states in the US, due to their founding they also had a strong military culture. They aren't touchy-feely, yet they are community oriented. Decentralized yet structured which was how early America operated.

Well to be fair as we were talking about yesterday a large part of Dusts player base is American so we can see why they would sympathise with the Gallentean and Matari ideals.
I would say that it is mostly due to the fact that most of my generation's imagery is generated by Hollywood idealism in which "good guys" may make mistakes but deserve another go and "bad guys" never have good intentions. Buzz words like democracy and diversity have positive connotations associated with the idealistic who want to change the world, which the Gallante and Minmatar are practically stamped with.
Also for the fact I stated in regard to ideology, most teens and young adults are more liberally prone and rebellious against hierarchy, so the congruence is if anything expected. |

Where did you gather that bunch of lies? The Amarr only engage in war with those who threaten their way of life, as do the other empires. They don't destroy civilizations, they assimilate them. They are not the only race to partake in assimilation, look at your own Gellente with the Intaki and Jin-Mei. All the empires have expanded and taken over other civilizations to become as expansive as they are now.
Correct, another part I was debating on adding in my first post was that the Amarr are expansionist as well as the Gallante. You need conflict in a war game. The Gallante can't stand the Caldari because of 1) insult for separating 2) they don't operate by their standards, and of course 3) Power play, which they wanted Caldari money and resources to support the rest of the lazy slobs.
I do love the gray nature that is Eve lore.
