• city_graphical_culture="preindustrial_01" - Primitive Pre-FTL
• city_graphical_culture="industrial_01" - Industrial Pre-FTL
• city_graphical_culture="fallen_empire_01" - Spiritualist Fallen Empire
• city_graphical_culture="fallen_empire_02" - Materialist Fallen Empire
• city_graphical_culture="fallen_empire_03" - Xenophile Fallen Empire
• city_graphical_culture="fallen_empire_04" - Xenophobe Fallen Empire

empire_flag determine's the empire's flag. category determines the flag category. It can be changed to the following normally unavailable categories to browse additional flags in the empire editor:

• category="special" - Crisis, primitive, shroud, nanite and caravaneer flags
• category="enclaves" - Enclave flags

ethic determines the empire's ethics. It is notable because it allows conflicting ethics to be picked. Regular ethics should not be added to Gestalt Consciousness empires as it makes them use regular strata instead.

spawn_as_fallen=no setting it to yes allows the empire to spawn as a Fallen Empire

Additional traits, ethics and civics should not be added as the game will not allow empires exceeding their default pick numbers to be spawned or selected for play.
