Since I havven't seen anything like this, I'm going to attempt to compile a glossary of what the UN categories mean. They are listed in no paticular order.
If something looks wrong, post and tell me why. I'll try and correct it.
Inoffensive Centrist Democracy: The ideal type of government, where the people have a good mix of political and civil rights, as well as security
Democratic Socialists: this is a left-wing democracy that focuses on giving the people money, power and security
Father Knows Best State: this provides a few freedoms and not very many political freedoms. It works like a parent; they do what THEY think is best and they don't listen to you
Iron Fist Consumerists : this is an oppressive state, that focuses on the economy; rights are nearly nonexistant
Corrupt Dictatorship: you have few rights, and if any, likely probably a few civil rights; it's still a dictatorship though, but nor totalitarian
Compulsory Consumerist State : this is similar to Iron Fist Consumerists, but the government MANDATES that you spend money to keep the economy up. This is a form of dictatorship; very little in the way of political and civil rights
Scandinavian Liberal Paradise : think Sweden; high taxes, lots of rights, but not much emphasis on the economy
Corporate Police State : think Stalin's Russia.
Capitalist Paradise : what America would be if not for those damned socialists and Democrats
New York Times Democracy : liberal leaning democracy, with elections heavily influenced by the media
Left-Leaning College State: what would happen if college students ruled the world; lots of civil rights. You would have political rights, but they wouldn't be as important
Psychotic Dictatorship: totalitarian dictatorship... like Saddam Hussein's regime
Liberal Democratic Socialists: this isn't a place for right-wingers; it's the place for liberals and not necessarily left-wingers. If you're about social reform, this is it
Moralistic Democracy : you have democratic rights, but a religious environment, or conservative environment wherein you don't have freedoms that are considered "immoral".
Authoritarian Democracy: not really a democracy; a dictatorship pretending to be one
Civil Rights Lovefest : a few steps away from anarchy; lots of freedom, in all aspects - civil, political and economical
Capitalizt: it's all about business
Left-wing Utopia: power to the people
Corporate Bordello: big business; capitalism... if you're small, you're eaten up. There isn't much emphasis on civil and political rights, they are secondary. It operates knd of like a 19th century bordello, only with businesses...
Anarchy: lawless nation; no regulations at all. Even if there are no regulations, an economy can do well.
Right-wing Utopia: Republican paradise
Libertarian Police State: while you have a very private life...you step out the door and BAM! The state is there... a strange mix of oppression and personal freedoms/privacy
Conservative Democracy: democracy without that pesky liberal agenda; freedom to ensure decency, separation of church and state, and a moderate agenda.
Iron Fist Socialists: kind of give the people welfare, education, health and other personal social rights OR ELSE!
Benevolent Dictatorship: A strange kind of dictatorship; on the one hand you have lots of civil/personal rights, but, on the other you have no political rights
Tyranny by Majority : if you're a minority...you're screwed here; basically, it's like ancient Rome; if most of the people decided to vote in favour of something, it didn't matter what anyone else said or did.
Free-Market Paradise : the ultimate place for a capitalist and any money-loving Republican
