			== Disabling Factions ==
			While factions can never be entirely eliminated, there is an option to allow factions to be disabled under some limited circumstances. In order to enable this, the player must choose to set the "Allow AI Factions To Be Disabled" setting when starting a new game. If this is set, then faction elimination can begin once the event "The New Normal" has triggered, which changes councilor turns to happening twice a month. At this point, if a faction ever meets all of the following criteria at the beginning of any day, it will be disabled for the remainder of the campaign.
			* Faction employs no councilors.
			* Faction holds no control points in any countries.
			* Faction owns no habs.
			* Faction owns no fleets.
			* Faction is not [[The Servants]] or [[The Protectorate]].
			* Faction is not [[Humanity First]], unless player is playing as [[The Resistance]].

			A disabled faction will never hire councilors or build habs, which makes it impossible for them to ever hold control points or build fleets. However, they will still gain public support as usual.
