Polystralia (CivBE)

The Commonwealth of the Pacific, also known as Polystralia, is a civilization in the world of Beyond Earth.

==Polystralian Strategies==
The Polystralian faction provides a boost to your number of trade routes. This can prove quite valuable in the early game, as you will be able to quickly develop new Outposts and trade with Stations while maintaining a steady income. However, later on this advantage will taper off as the other factions will up their number of cities, thus expanding their own trade routes. So if you pick Polystralia, be sure to maximize your trade advantage right off the bat for maximum exploitation.

==Trivia==
* While Amuia le masina, e alu ma sau is a real Samoan proverb, it actually translates to "Fortunate is the moon, to go and then return", with the intended meaning that people have only one life, so they should make the most of it; the translation provided in the Civilopedia entry appears to be a paraphrasing of a different Samoan proverb, E pala le maʻa, a e le pala le upu ("Even stones decay, but words endure").
