The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 1.2% Federal, 98.8% Unitary (Very strong Unitary); Representation: 12.5% Democracy, 87.5% Autocracy (Very strong 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; Khmer Rouge Cambodia (Pol Pot) sits 45.0 points below it. 100 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 97.5% Security, 2.5% Liberty (Very strong Security); Immigration: 96.2% Assimilation, 3.8% Multiculturalism (Very strong 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; Khmer Rouge Cambodia (Pol Pot) sits 38.7 points above it. 95 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 78.8% Militarist, 21.2% Pacifist (Strong Militarist); Intervention: 53.8% Non-interventionist, 46.2% 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; Khmer Rouge Cambodia (Pol Pot) sits 5.0 points above it. 167 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 90% Public, 10% Private (Very strong Public); Control: 86.2% Planning, 13.8% Free market (Strong Planning); Trade: 96.2% Protectionism, 3.8% Globalism (Very strong Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Khmer Rouge Cambodia (Pol Pot) depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Khmer Rouge Cambodia (Pol Pot) sits 36.8 points above it. 83 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 93.8% Irreligious, 6.2% Religious (Very strong Irreligious); Morality: 37.5% Progressive, 62.5% Traditionalist (Leaning 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; Khmer Rouge Cambodia (Pol Pot) sits 1.3 points below it. 197 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 8.8% Technology, 91.2% Biology (Very strong Biology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Khmer Rouge Cambodia (Pol Pot), the 41.2-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Khmer Rouge Cambodia (Pol Pot) sits 48.7 points below it. 25 reference profiles share this band.
