It's from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri: A Brian Reynolds Design. Brian Reynolds was the designer, but the quote could have been penned by someone else on the team.
"Warring factions" isn't a game, but rather a description of the splintering of the giant colony ship along ideological lines. Commissioner Pravin Lal is one of the faction leaders.
The gameplay consists of fouding cities, improving them and the land around them, terraforming, researching technologies and philosophies, evolving your government, building up your military, conducting intricate negotiations with other factions, and waging war. Victory is achieved via UN elections, conquest, or transcendence.
The factions and their leaders: - Deirde Skye, Gaia's Stepdaughters (Environmental) - Sheng-ji Yang, Human Hive (Totalitarian) - Miriam Godwinson, Lord's Believers (Theocratic) - Nwabudike Morgan, Morgan Industries (Capitalist) - Corazon Santiago, Spartan Federation (Militarist) - Pravin Lal, UN Peacekeepers (Secular Humanist) - Prokhor Zakharov, University of Planet (Rationalist)
The expansion added five more human factions and two alien races, but I never played it.
