Definitely, those are good.
Also, Wyntonian, you said, (sorry, I haven't figured out multiple quoting yet):
"This will NOT be a hack-and-slash. I'm not looking for tales of courtly intrigue and diplomatic maneuverings, but i'd like some moral decisions and multiple options. Does the party join the angry townsfolk to avenge the missing child, or do they go talk to the orc tribe to find out if they were involved, or look for her themselves? Peacemaking should be difficult, but as rewarding as just going in guns blazing. "
You're looking for politics, then, I gather? A map or lists of countries (or both) might help.
