First off, i don't think that the US is a benign empire. Not quite mega evil yet, but we are definatly not benign. I totally agree with the thoughts of Steppenwolf in the other aspects. I have encountered MEE in two ai only games i played. I was so strong at that point that i was able to isolate the enemies, get their allies to attack them and then clean them all up. However i got very frustrated because even small neutrals who i had maintained good relationships with attacked me, they all died consequntly. However, i turned of the MEE thing and then proceeded to create states (PPP) that were loyal so i would have some friends . Anyway i got pissed in the end in both games and just wend and built a lot of rign and sphere worlds, had an enourmous pop (starting to get like SimCity) and all my enemies population in prision stations (cargo components) orbiting my capital world, they all died hard. HAHAHA.
