The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 95% Federal, 5% Unitary (Very strong Federal); Representation: 28.7% Democracy, 71.3% Autocracy (Leaning Autocracy). This combination separates where authority is located from how leaders are selected and constrained. It preserves those two choices even when a broad political label does not distinguish them. On Representation, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Democracy; Holy Roman Empire (First Reich) sits 28.8 points below it. 99 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 65% Security, 35% Liberty (Leaning Security); Immigration: 66.2% Assimilation, 33.8% Multiculturalism (Leaning Assimilation). The first contrast concerns limits on civil life; the second concerns cultural adaptation and plural identities. Reading them together avoids inferring an immigration position solely from a preference about security. On Power, the 877-profile catalog median is 58.8% Security; Holy Roman Empire (First Reich) sits 6.2 points above it. 175 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 51.2% Militarist, 48.8% Pacifist (Balanced); Intervention: 51.2% Non-interventionist, 48.8% Nationalist (Balanced). Military capacity and projection of national interests are distinct choices in this model. These coordinates show how the profile combines military means and external objectives, without assuming that they always move together. On Intervention, the 877-profile catalog median is 48.8% Non-interventionist; Holy Roman Empire (First Reich) sits 2.4 points above it. 167 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 42.5% Public, 57.5% Private (Leaning Private); Control: 46.2% Planning, 53.8% Free market (Balanced); Trade: 62.5% Protectionism, 37.5% Globalism (Leaning Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Holy Roman Empire (First Reich) depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Holy Roman Empire (First Reich) sits 10.7 points below it. 179 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 2.5% Irreligious, 97.5% Religious (Very strong Religious); Morality: 10% Progressive, 90% Traditionalist (Very strong Traditionalist). The model keeps religious influence separate from continuity in social norms. These values describe the reference profile; they do not assign a religion to someone who receives this match in the quiz. On Morality, the 877-profile catalog median is 38.8% Progressive; Holy Roman Empire (First Reich) sits 28.8 points below it. 116 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 28.7% Technology, 71.3% Biology (Leaning Biology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Holy Roman Empire (First Reich), the 21.3-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Holy Roman Empire (First Reich) sits 28.8 points below it. 117 reference profiles share this band.
