Very down to Earth really from a US perspective of course:-)
I always took the /Romulans/ to be the communists. Then again, I'm a kid and my experience is from the TNG series, during which they were uneasy allies. Maybe the original series was different.
I think it's interesting how, after the fall of the USSR, the Klingongs have been reworked as a religious society, obviously inspired by Christianity ("the second comming of Kalas").
Cheers, Daniel.
