Now that I actually had a moment to think about the politics part, I need to mention something else. Modern only here! I can see most of them being conservative. But not American Conservative. German Conservative, yeah probably. But American Conservatism is far too extreme for my impression of most characters; and I'm not talking about the Tea Party. Just the regular Republicanism. But hey, from my perspective even your liberals are more right than our liberals so that would depend heavily on the political culture.
