Buddhist Nationalism
A current fusing ethnic identity and Theravada Buddhist faith, seeing the nation as guardian of the Dharma threatened by minorities, as in Sinhalese nationalism in Sri Lanka and the Ma Ba Tha and 969 monk movements in Myanmar.
I want a Buddhist nation that protects the Dharma and the majority, with influential monks, strong leaders, and minorities under watch.Compare your own views

The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 21.1% Federal, 78.9% Unitary (Strong Unitary); Representation: 54.3% Democracy, 45.7% Autocracy (Balanced). 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; Buddhist Nationalism sits 3.2 points below it. 80 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 77.9% Security, 22.1% Liberty (Strong Security); Immigration: 86% Assimilation, 14% 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; Buddhist Nationalism sits 19.1 points above it. 179 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 74.3% Militarist, 25.7% Pacifist (Strong Militarist); Intervention: 47.1% Non-interventionist, 52.9% 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; Buddhist Nationalism sits 1.7 points below it. 167 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 56.6% Public, 43.4% Private (Balanced); Control: 66% Planning, 34% Free market (Leaning Planning); Trade: 72.9% Protectionism, 27.1% Globalism (Strong Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Buddhist Nationalism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Buddhist Nationalism sits 3.4 points above it. 207 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 6.9% Irreligious, 93.1% Religious (Very strong Religious); Morality: 20.8% Progressive, 79.2% 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; Buddhist Nationalism sits 18.0 points below it. 182 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 31% Technology, 69% Biology (Leaning Biology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Buddhist Nationalism, the 19.0-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Buddhist Nationalism sits 26.5 points below it. 117 reference profiles share this band.
