Understand the 12 axes
Intervention: Non-interventionist / Nationalist
How assertively should a state project its interests abroad?
What this axis explores
Non-interventionist positions prioritize restraint, neutrality and avoiding interference in other societies. Nationalist positions on this particular axis favor assertive defense of national interests, geopolitical influence and the ability to act despite external objections.
How the questions explore the axis
The pool asks about foreign bases, alliances, sanctions, regime change, regional leadership, national companies overseas, international treaties and the use of force to defend national interests. The labels describe the meanings assigned by this questionnaire.
The Nationalist pole here concerns external interests and influence. It should not be treated as a universal definition of nationalism or confused with the separate immigration axis. Consider whether your response concerns the goal, the means or the institution authorizing action. Opposing permanent alliances is different from opposing all cooperation. Reading this result with Diplomacy and Trade can reveal which part of external engagement you actually resist or support.
