}The SE_morale variable is based solely on cumulative Social Engineering morale value. The ones that effect it are:
Fundamentalist : +1
Power : +2
Wealth : -2
Eudaimonic : -2
Thought Control : +2
When faction files are parsed, it stores MORALE value in special_rules_MORALE. It does looks like it's being counted multiple times, but it isn't. It first checks to see if it's less than zero, and then applies penalty if so. I believe this is so that if SE_morale is negative and/or faction penalty exists, then the base facility modification of the halving of penalty is done before bonuses. After the facility check, then it applies positive bonus. If special_rules_MORALE is zero in faction files, then FACT_MORALE gets set and zeros out any negative penalty per description.

This is how I read this section of code:
1. Get the Morale SE rating from the faction's government/economy/values/future society settings, not including any inherent bonuses or penalties.
2. Set this number to -4 if it's less than -4, or set it to 4 if it's greater than 4.
3. Add 1 if it is less than -1, or subtract 1 if it is greater than 1.
4. Now grab the faction's inherent Morale bonus or penalty.
5. If the faction has an inherent Morale penalty, apply it now.
6. Check the unit's home base and divide a negative Morale modifier by 2 if it has a Children's Creche.
7. If the faction has an inherent Morale bonus, apply it now.
Is this correct?

Then it looks like a faction bonus to Morale should be able to get around the +3 cap. For example, the Spartans running Power/Thought Control would have +4 Morale from their SE choices, which will increase a unit with base Green Morale to Veteran. Then their inherent +2 Morale bonus should apply afterwards and make the unit Elite, but this doesn't happen.
Edit: I've also been unable to get drone riots to remove a negative Morale modifier.

It amuses me that every time ...
