The spartans may have originally recieved a MORALE, # bonus because it operates in a slightly different manner than the Social MORALE bonuses. The most important difference is that units that come from Unity Pods and (re)starting positions receive the MORALE, #  bonus plus an additional +1. As an example, the Spartans, in an unchanged game, begin with a disciplined Unity Rover; while the Spartans with a MORALE, 1 bonus would start with a hardened Unity Rover. I believe this bonus fits the faction well since they value power and survival which entails independence from conventional support systems.

Realistically though SE MORALE and Faction MORALE are very similar.  I kind of doubt they ever had any factions with the faction morale since it doesn't show up in the SE page.  That being said a few other bonuses don't either.   I think ideally somehow all faction benefits and penalties would show on the SE page though it's probably not a huge issue

Well, if I read it correctly the SE-Morale is some kinda modifier that applies to all units regardless wich rank they are. While the Bonus Dio mentioned lets units start with a higher rank. So if you want to see it from an ingame-perspective (I still like to avoid the term "realistic") then the Spartan Morale bonus shouldn't be named "morale" it should be named "training", "veterancy" or "rank" because the SE-Morale-modifier wich is the "true" morale will still apply afterwards regardless of  rank.

Did I get this correctly?

Our first challenge is to create an entire economic infrastructure, from top to bottom, out of whole cloth. No gradual evolution from previous economic systems is possible, because there is no previous economic system. Each interdependent piece must be materialized simultaneously and in perfect working order.. otherwise the system will crash out before it ever gets off the ground.
