NW-You would feel most at home in the Northwest region. You advocate a large degree of economic and personal freedom. Your neighbors include folks like Ayn Rand, Jesse Ventura, Milton Friedman, and Drew Carey, and may refer to themselves as "classical liberals," "libertarians," "market liberals," "old whigs," "objectivists," "propertarians," "agorists," or "anarcho-capitalist."

I am neighbour to Michael Badnarik and Ayn Rand in the extreme NW.

Centerville-You would feel most at home in Centerville, which means that you are more or less pleased the status quo-you think the US government has just about the right amount of control over your economic and personal decisions. Your neighbors include democratic and republican party leaders and others who call themselves "moderates" and "centrists."

I'm a Northern Free-Marketeer. My closest neighbors are Drew Carey and George Bush. Anybody want to buy a house cheap?

Southern Egalitarian. Situated slightly southeast of Jesse Jackson and slightly southwest of FDR.

Hmm, I got SW (figures) right next to Jesse Jackson. Oddly, it puts me as being a little more south than west, which makes no sense to me.

edit:

You know this thing's messed up when it puts bush to the left (in relation to personal freedom) of Kerry...

I live in Centerville, equidistant from George W. Bush and Jesse Jackson, and a close neighbor of John Kerry. Sounds about right to me.
 

FAQ: What Region of Politopia Matches Your Ideals?

What is Politopia?

Politopia is a hypothetical country used in scientific and political discussions to explore different forms of government and societal structures.

How is living in Politopia different from living in a real country?

Since Politopia is a hypothetical country, it does not have a physical location and its citizens do not experience daily life in the same way as those living in a real country. However, the concepts and principles explored in Politopia can provide valuable insights into the functioning of real societies.

Is Politopia a utopia or a dystopia?

Politopia is neither a utopia nor a dystopia, as it is not meant to represent a perfect or flawed society. It is simply a tool used to examine different political and social systems and their potential consequences.

How is the government structured in Politopia?

The government structure in Politopia can vary depending on the specific scenario being studied. However, it often involves a central governing body and a system of checks and balances to distribute power and prevent corruption.

Are there any real-world examples similar to Politopia?

There are some parallels between Politopia and real-world countries, as many real societies have elements of different political and social systems. However, Politopia is a purely theoretical concept and cannot be directly compared to any specific real-world country.
