Simple error to report. 
As of the latest patch (and perhaps longer), the Krynn have six points of Race Traits in their default setup, not five:
I found this out by recreating my "evil opposites" factions for my home game. GC III wouldn't let me save my modified Krynn faction, and the reason was because they were getting too many points. No wonder they had a bit of a leg up on other factions. 
(yes, I know that was mostly due to the now removed Patriotic trait - still couldn't pass up the joke)
