The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 27.5% Federal, 72.5% Unitary (Strong Unitary); Representation: 35% Democracy, 65% 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; Maoist Communism sits 22.5 points below it. 99 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 87.5% Security, 12.5% Liberty (Very strong Security); Immigration: 52.5% Assimilation, 47.5% Multiculturalism (Balanced). 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; Maoist Communism sits 28.7 points above it. 95 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 78.8% Militarist, 21.2% Pacifist (Strong Militarist); Intervention: 42.5% Non-interventionist, 57.5% Nationalist (Leaning 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; Maoist Communism sits 6.3 points below it. 187 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 92.5% Public, 7.5% Private (Very strong Public); Control: 88.8% Planning, 11.2% Free market (Very strong Planning); Trade: 98.8% Protectionism, 1.2% 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 Maoist Communism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Maoist Communism sits 39.3 points above it. 83 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 92.5% Irreligious, 7.5% Religious (Very strong Irreligious); Morality: 52.5% Progressive, 47.5% Traditionalist (Balanced). 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; Maoist Communism sits 13.7 points above it. 107 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 61.3% Technology, 38.7% Biology (Leaning Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Maoist Communism, the 11.3-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Maoist Communism sits 3.8 points above it. 299 reference profiles share this band.
