Well Nomura and the development divisions wouldn't be doing what they did with VIII - had President Vinzer Deiling (called a Dictator within the game) - looked suspiciously like a certain President in the other scenes before the render was cleaned up in Deiling's Broadcast where Edea was introduced, not to mention a horrible Instructor in Balamb Garden called Instructor Aki that also looked suspiciously like Hitler...

I think that they'll try to make it semi-realistic but without the type of politics of the events of today. I think Nomura and the divisions will most likely change their minds after looking at the details and remembering what they did with VIII...

But with some sections of the worlds in the Fabula Nova Crystallis series the development of their worlds' seem to be based more off our own with fantasy and sci-fi elements added but to the side of America's sales going down for Square-Enix - overtaken by Europe and Australasia there is the possibility of some references being made but preferably not much other than some similar twists to events that may have happened which as a result could turn out to be somewhat similar to VII.

Overall from all of the released information (to the public and from what some of the SQEX guys have hinted), the politics would probably be on the same levels as VII or VIII - not as much as XII but still elements of it.

Like in VII with ShinRa's various events or VIII which had the section against the Galbadian Republic and people fearing the main powers - Galbadia and Esthar, even the section which involved the political jail/prison and the missile base scenario (sound familiar to some events today?). Either way, you're not forced to buy the games but personally I wouldn't doubt it if a lot of things changed including the whole take on politics within the series before the final version is released. To the side that there is always some sort of small event that is happening today that is referenced in the Final Fantasy series even if it has been modified to hell it can still be recognized in most cases.
