The Return of the Great NS Political Compass

Swimmingpool

Yes, the third version of the NS Political Compass (http://www.iol.ie/~roto/nspolc2.jpg) is finally up!

Awards
Most Communist: Constantinopolis, Danarkadia, Kanabia, Europaland, Corisan, Dafydd Jones, Beth Gellert, Socialist Autonomia
Most Capitalist: GnOoLoCoPeLep, The Empire of Jason, Reinmar, Nova Roma, Petsburg
Most Authoritarian: Imperial Dark Rome
Most Libertarian: Potaria, BLACKGRUE
Most Centrist: Zooke, Strensall, Colodia

Diagonals
Most Left-Libertarian: Socialist Autonomia
Most Right-Libertarian: Petsburg
Most Left-Authoritarian: Yupaenu
Most Right-Authoritarian: Imperial Dark Rome

We now have a Stalinist in Yupaenu. We also now have extremes of the social scores, with Imperial Dark Rome, aka Satanist Priest Medihv, keeping you in line on the authoritarian extreme, and Potaria professing maximum individual liberty on the other end of the chart.

The link to the chart will remain in my signature.

Could you explain the y-axis to me? Cos I'm not sure if I'm on the chart or not, I think I'd be in the third quadrent, so maybe that's why I don't see myself. There's tons of people there.

Ah ha! I'd be right next to C-anadia. So I'm not on the chart... :(

influence wasn;t the word i was looking for... i'm so tired right now :p
influence as in the amount of control or regulation the government has over people's lives, as mirrored by the 'left/right' scale of economic influence - 'interference' in the market

so the top is authoritarian, which means the government excersises control over people's lives, making people go to church for example. or having compulsory education (kinda)
bottom is libertarian, whereby the government lets people do pretty much what they want (at the extreme)
