What kind of country on the NS scale do you think the United States would be?
I think it would be (referring to the guide here http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=392208)
Corporate Bordello (Medium Social, High Economic, High Political)
Americans as citizens live with restrictive drug laws and prohibitions on gay marriage, but are allowed sweeping freedom of speech rights and increasing equal opportunity in the workplace and in government, thus making social medium.
Economic is high because of our regressive tax system and the lack of regulation on corporations.
Political is high because we're free to vote for who we want and influence it (although I would say too much, given the control corporations have over the government).
We can expand this to other countries, as well.
