Some French ideological flags for an ATL French Revolution, with a POD in 1492, that uses Ancient Roman terminology (Optimates, Populares, Triarii) for its factions. Based on the situation in the
1492: Hello Cruel World game
The Optimates/Royalists/Arch-Conservative Catholics. Nobility, royalty, clergy.
The Populares, the proto-Liberals fully embracing the Enlightenment, and a little further, thanks to peasant rebellions' manifestos. The movement of the people.
The Triarii, the meritocratic, but military-dominated faction. Parliament, military, and bourgeois. (Note, the
fasces did not have the fascist connotations then.)
The Brigands (who aren't quite a political faction but nonetheless fight against foreign invaders).
