I think there was talk at one point about a future version of the mod doing away with some of the more obnoxious events, but that was up to the generosity if whoever was making changes to the mod. Not sure if it would be ready for the new version, but if we could at least get rid of freaking slave revolts.... 
PB13 is the largest game we've run lately and if the settings there worked well (and I think they have so far) they seem as good a starting place as any. I don't care who the dictator is, Commodore is fine, as long as it's someone people will listen to (and not shout down in the setup thread, unlike in some other recent game that almost died before it started).
Edit: Oooo I gained a level. Yay.
