The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 71.2% Federal, 28.8% Unitary (Leaning Federal); Representation: 20% Democracy, 80% Autocracy (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; Kingdom of Jerusalem sits 37.5 points below it. 156 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 75% Security, 25% Liberty (Strong 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; Kingdom of Jerusalem sits 16.2 points above it. 179 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 92.5% Militarist, 7.5% Pacifist (Very strong Militarist); Intervention: 10% Non-interventionist, 90% Nationalist (Very strong Nationalist). 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; Kingdom of Jerusalem sits 38.8 points below it. 43 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 25% Public, 75% Private (Strong Private); Control: 53.8% Planning, 46.2% Free market (Balanced); Trade: 23.8% Protectionism, 76.2% Globalism (Strong Globalism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Kingdom of Jerusalem depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Kingdom of Jerusalem sits 28.2 points below it. 74 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 0% Irreligious, 100% Religious (Very strong Religious); Morality: 6.2% Progressive, 93.8% 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; Kingdom of Jerusalem sits 32.6 points below it. 116 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 46.2% Technology, 53.8% Biology (Balanced). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Kingdom of Jerusalem, the 3.8-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Kingdom of Jerusalem sits 11.3 points below it. 225 reference profiles share this band.
