Nationalism

Ideology that places the nation as the central value, defending its sovereignty, unity, and identity, and prioritizing the interests of the people and the nation-state over external influences and globalism.

I want a society assimilated into national identity, with strong order and an economy protected from abroad in the name of the people's sovereignty.

The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 23.8% Federal, 76.2% Unitary (Strong Unitary); Representation: 51.2% Democracy, 48.8% 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; Nationalism sits 6.3 points below it. 80 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 67.5% Security, 32.5% Liberty (Leaning Security); Immigration: 75% Assimilation, 25% 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; Nationalism sits 8.7 points above it. 175 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 71.2% Militarist, 28.8% Pacifist (Leaning Militarist); Intervention: 31.2% Non-interventionist, 68.8% 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; Nationalism sits 17.6 points below it. 187 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 50% Public, 50% Private (Balanced); Control: 61.3% Planning, 38.7% Free market (Leaning Planning); Trade: 77.5% Protectionism, 22.5% Globalism (Strong Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Nationalism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Nationalism sits 3.2 points below it. 207 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 41.2% Irreligious, 58.8% Religious (Leaning Religious); Morality: 31.2% Progressive, 68.8% Traditionalist (Leaning 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; Nationalism sits 7.6 points below it. 197 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 60% Technology, 40% Biology (Leaning Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Nationalism, the 10.0-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Nationalism sits 2.5 points above it. 299 reference profiles share this band.
