Codex Ideology Template Suggestion

Hello, it's me

I was looking over the Religion template and I thought it would be nifty if there were a separate template for political ideologies. We've had several flavors of space fascism and at least two flavors of space communism. They could all stand to benefit from codification.

For the most part, this is just the same Religion template, but with updated wording. The major changes come to the Social Information header, where Sacred and Dogma were replaced with the following:
  • Philosophy: [ What ideals, standards, or beliefs does this ideology hold and promote? How do adherents of this ideology view the galaxy? What goals, if any, could this ideology be said to have? ]
  • Theory: [ What methods does this ideology suggest in pursuit of its goals? How would a society governed by this ideology (optimally) work? How is an individual adherent of this ideology expected to behave? ]
Probably someone smarter than me can find a way to make it more distinct from the Religion template, though these things tend to be closely linked anyway. Discuss in earnest.
