Note that the December 2014 patch changed some sponsors for balance:
* The Slavic Federation used to have Orbital units last just 20% longer and could receive a free technology when their first Orbital unit was launched. The patch removed the free technology from launching an Orbital unit, but increased the Orbital unit time and added the extra resources.
* The People's African Union used to only get the +10% growth; the free Old Earth Relics were added in the patch.
* Brasilia only had the +10% ; the patch added the fortification bonus.
* Franco-Iberia used to receive a free technology for every 10 Virtues acquired in any way. This was changed to free Virtue for every 10 Virtues developed through .
