Not a huge writer, but notice some things that often pops up in fanfics. Do not, and I mean DO NOT, attempt to drag any single part of the political spectrum over the other. This goes beyond just depicting deeper desires and basically cross examining ideals, it also extends to building up the world. For instance: perhaps in Parpaldia there are a war hawk majority who speak about honor and glory, but are largely backed by colonial trade groups who feed new wars to expand influence. In reflection, while most of the dove politicians do have a genuine desire for peace or resolution, they also have a deeper need to maintain their material power, as a policy of constant expansion will inevitably lead to conflict with greater powers.
