Why you are trying to go for things that really aren't there?
Lal achieves EVERYTHING the Charter contains within his Peacekeepers and is adamant on keeping it running. That's why there is no fucking way to make him vote for removing the Charter. That's why he gets those various bonuses. That's why eventually he's "vanilla", with only the vast bureaucracy going in his faction as any sort of "effect".
Besides, they are not Peaceful People. They are Peacekeepers. Like someone else mention, this is at this point semantics and grasping at almost literal straws.
All while actively and deliberately missing the point, because oh no, some factions turn out to be actually good, rather them all being grey... maybe because it's the game that's all shades of grey, achieved by having various factions in it, rather than every single element of game being simply grey.
Amazing, right?

Also, Santiago's point isn't "Might Makes Right". Santiago point is the peak hypocrisy of the game - while constantly bragging about adaptability and survival, she's ultimately the one utterly unable to adapt or survive. Getting rolf-stomped by Gaians, who did adopt and survived. Surely, all you need is rifles and training, right? And symetrical growth and repeating all the shit that worked on Earth, while shrugging on the mere concept that things might work differently. Or even TRY to run them differently, since given Santiago's bio, she's simply unable to grasp that there were other things going in the world than gang wars in slum. But since she can't see that nor is willing to accept that, she ultimately ends up cucked by Gaians, trying to fight symetrical war against something that she doesn't even understand. Just throw more rifles and bodies at it, until...
... you die
