I want a market economy with private property, under a closed state that guarantees order and growth by restricting political competition.

The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 13.8% Federal, 86.2% Unitary (Strong Unitary); Representation: 13.8% Democracy, 86.2% 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; Authoritarian Capitalism sits 43.7 points below it. 156 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 87.5% Security, 12.5% Liberty (Very strong Security); Immigration: 73.8% Assimilation, 26.2% Multiculturalism (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; Authoritarian Capitalism sits 28.7 points above it. 95 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 75% Militarist, 25% Pacifist (Strong Militarist); Intervention: 22.5% Non-interventionist, 77.5% Nationalist (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; Authoritarian Capitalism sits 26.3 points below it. 144 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 32.5% Public, 67.5% Private (Leaning Private); Control: 52.5% Planning, 47.5% Free market (Balanced); Trade: 45% Protectionism, 55% Globalism (Balanced). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Authoritarian Capitalism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Authoritarian Capitalism sits 20.7 points below it. 179 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 40% Irreligious, 60% Religious (Leaning Religious); Morality: 15% Progressive, 85% Traditionalist (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; Authoritarian Capitalism sits 23.8 points below it. 182 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 81.2% Technology, 18.8% Biology (Strong Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Authoritarian Capitalism, the 31.2-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Authoritarian Capitalism sits 23.7 points above it. 132 reference profiles share this band.
