How do you design your race? What's your playstyle?

I'm just interested in finding out what race set-up people find most effective, and hopefully improving my own design. Here's the set-up I tend to favor now:
Political Party - Federalists +20% Econ
Ability 1 - +15% planet quality for 9 points. Makes my good planets better, allows me to colonize class 14 planets as class 16 right off the bat, and strengthens my econ.
Ability 2 - +25% research for 1 point (creativity trait). Tech is always good, and it's IMO the best of the 1 point cost traits.
Playstyle - I belong to the "It's all about econ" camp myself. A strong econ allows me to be very flexible/versatile and pursue any kind of strategy I see fit because I've got the credits to pull it off.
