Municipalism

A world divided into independent city-states and microstates that compete like a market, with free secession, the right of exit and political experimentation, from the medieval free cities to Yarvin's "patchwork" and seasteading.

I want thousands of sovereign city-states competing for residents, with free secession, the right of exit and each city choosing its own laws.

The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 97% Federal, 3% Unitary (Very strong Federal); Representation: 40.2% Democracy, 59.8% 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; Municipalism sits 17.3 points below it. 99 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 29.1% Security, 70.9% Liberty (Leaning Liberty); Immigration: 36.4% Assimilation, 63.6% Multiculturalism (Leaning Multiculturalism). 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; Municipalism sits 29.7 points below it. 151 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 35.5% Militarist, 64.5% Pacifist (Leaning Pacifist); Intervention: 72.9% Non-interventionist, 27.1% Nationalist (Strong Non-interventionist). 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; Municipalism sits 24.1 points above it. 105 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 25.6% Public, 74.4% Private (Strong Private); Control: 21.8% Planning, 78.2% Free market (Strong Free market); Trade: 20.8% Protectionism, 79.2% Globalism (Strong Globalism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Municipalism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Municipalism sits 27.6 points below it. 74 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 54% Irreligious, 46% Religious (Balanced); Morality: 59.8% Progressive, 40.2% Traditionalist (Leaning Progressive). 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; Municipalism sits 21.0 points above it. 151 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 80.6% Technology, 19.4% Biology (Strong Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Municipalism, the 30.6-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Municipalism sits 23.1 points above it. 132 reference profiles share this band.
