Political Quizzes/Tests/Inventories Thread

joshofalltrades

The idea for this thread came up when @ComradeBot posted about something called NationStates, which is a site that takes a very broad picture of your political leanings and creates a nation based upon its meager understanding.

We have all taken a quiz of some sort on the internet when we're bored, but the fun part of taking them is sharing them with other people! That's where this thread comes in; there's a lot of fun things to do on the interwebs, but coordinating them and keeping them out of [chat] or from mucking up other threads is ideal.

This thread is mod approved, but here are some guidelines to keep it open so we can all have a good time:

• No breaking any rules laid out in the general forum rules thread. This ought to go without saying, but I'm super cereal about this. Some quizzes have an image at the end for you to share which is inordinately large in size and I don't want them shitting up the thread and getting mods involved when we can just self-police it and post your results in text. Obviously if you check the size and it's acceptable, go ahead, but be careful.
• No linking to sites which have NSFW content. It has generally been acceptable in threads to link NSFW images or sites which are relevant as long as they are heavily tagged as such, but there's really no need for it here. Let's keep it clean.
• Be an adult. It's okay to poke fun at each other, but if Preacher takes a quiz and it declares that he's a libertarian we should obviously be sensitive to the possibility of taking that ribbing too far. This thread was inspired partly from a desire to have more threads in D&D which aren't super controversial or potentially offensive.
• If you post a link to a quiz/test/whatever, you should have already tried it yourself and be able to post your results along with the recommendation, for two reasons. One, it's no fair and no fun for you to discover things about other people before you share, and two, you need to be able to vouch for the external link's integrity and know you aren't sending people to something inappropriate.
• Please post links to things that give you something to share with the thread. A few things that are just fun little games to do on your own are okay, but I'd really like for this thread to spark discussion and that end is best served by things that score you, or put you on a spectrum/sliding scale, or rate you based on how everybody else did.
• ElJeffe specified that a general "internet quizzes" thread is too wide in scope, so I have narrowed it down to politics, because that seems to be a common interest in this subforum.

Any reasonable site is welcome to be suggested, as long as it pertains in some way to politics. Games, quizzes, literacy tests! Anything that is fun to share and talk about.

So, in keeping with the spirit of the guidelines that I myself have established, here is the beautiful Democratic Republic of Joshapalooza, from the above NationStates link:

Yeah well my country is awesome.

The Republic of Joshapalooza is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its intelligent population of 5 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 34%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Trout Farming, Retail, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Crime is well under control. Joshapalooza's national animal is the Meerkat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Fuck.

joshofalltrades

Oh, and please take your serious business arguments to a different thread. I want to have some fun in D&D. If your discussion is getting too heated, consider a PM with that forumer.

ElJeffe

Speaking of serious business, please don't make this a lolbertarians thread. Yes, someone's going to post a link to some political quiz that tries to prove everyone is a libertarian, fine, whatevs, but if this thread becomes a place for bashing others, it'll get locked.

Edit:

The Empire of Evigilant is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 26%. A large private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining industries.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Evigilant's national animal is the German Shepherd, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pound.

The Democratic States of Lynchburgh is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The small, liberal government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 18%. A substantial private sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Beef-Based Agriculture.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, the government is avowedly atheist, euthanasia is legal, and voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Lynchburgh's national animal is the Turtle, and its currency is the Knot.

I did this about ten years ago, but I forget what my nation was. It's probably overrun with hippies by now, or something. I make new one!

The Republic of Wakkawakkastan is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18%. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Wakkawakkastan's national animal is the Pink Fairy Armadillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dubloon.

I also just made voting compulsory, declared religion silly, and implemented public security cams everywhere. Let's see what happens!

joshofalltrades

I noticed more than one poster here has compulsive military service as a feature of their Nation State, which is surprising to me! Has there been a thread on that before?

Also I find it interesting that Feriluce has a total lack of prisons like mine, but crime is higher. Also, public nudity.

EDIT: Maybe crime is higher because the citizens know the cops will be less likely to tackle them.

One of my first issues that came up was regarding nudity laws. Kind of funny how it portrays your responses, in reality even if nudity was okay all the time and any time, you would still have the majority wear clothes in every day activities.

Yessssssss

The Federal Republic of Ixitixlia is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its intelligent population of 5 million are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 35%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

Crime is well under control. Ixitixlia's national animal is the Army Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Klackon.

I had an account on NationState back in the day. Some of it was pretty fun, but I kind of got bored with it. I'd suggest steering clear of the UN for anyone that gives this a go because that sucks the fun out of the game. Unless they changed something with it in the last couple of years, it pretty much doesn't work like the actual UN and being part of it means, giving up lots of control of one's digital nation, if they want to stay in. So one couldn't be the nation that thumbs its nose at the majority of countries, when they feel the UN passed something stupid and not have to worry about being kicked out.

I was invited to join a Westeros group, which made me laugh.

Corehealer

I have never heard of this before. So I made one:

The Commonwealth of Corehealer is a fledgling, devout nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 50%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Corehealer's national animal is the Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Corin.

5 minutes after making an account:



Heh, enrich. I turned it down though. Even if it means my economy still sucks, I want those rainforests preserved for future generations of dragons to frolic in god damnit!

Also:

Elvenshae

The Kingdom of Elvenshae is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 30%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.

Well, since I inadvertently started this...

The Rogue Nation of Storminea is a huge, economically powerful nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 815 million are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 19%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Tourism and Arms Manufacturing.

Popular political cartoonists are thrown in jail for inciting dissent, criminals are thrown to the coyotes to repay their debt to society, Leader has just been declared ruler of Storminea in an international press conference, and Coyote is one of the most popular forenames in Storminea. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Storminea's national animal is the coyote, and its currency is the sickle.

Keep in mind that I made this country over five years ago, and it got forgotten over four years ago until yesterdayish. So, sadly, it hasn't had my input.


Historically my economic freedoms are the only thing to ever really "vary" on a day to day basis, and while Storminea is typically defined as a "Libertarian Police State" it has also spent time as a "Benevolent Dictatorship" and as "Iron Fist Socialists".

The Free Land of Quebec 2013 is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jean with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.164 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Defence and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nouvelle Quebec. The average income tax rate is 21%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining industries.

The nation leads Balder in per capita stalking, nude art is becoming wildly popular, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime is well under control. Quebec 2013's national animal is the orignal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the piasse.

Geez, my country sounds like a haven for perverts doesn't it?

Etiowsa

I've had one of these things for about a year now, you get some amusing issues every now and then.

The Doomed Lands of Etiowsa is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Morbo with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate population of 3.295 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doomocracy. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, children spout "DOOM!" involuntarily throughout the day, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Etiowsa's national animal is the Platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Nihilism, and its currency is the Sorrow.

Etiowsa is ranked 4,438th in The East Pacific and 119,416th in the world for Largest Agricultural Sector, scoring -9 on the Mu-Bah-Daggs Productivity Index.

The Protectorate of Tungsten Excavation Parish 77 is a fledgling, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Commerce are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11%. A very small private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

The Most Serene Republic of Rhesia is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 571 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 68%, and even higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

Rhesia is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, a government program is underway to revitalize Rhesia's beaches, and artists are pillars of society. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhesia's national animal is the duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the union.

The size of your government seems to have decreased somewhat. It makes me wonder what changes on this thing when you're not babysitting it.

Rhesus Positive

I don't think it's an accurate comparison as I spent at least a month on the first nation. I think I'll stick with that one for the time being as it fits most of my decisions - turns out that I haven't changed that much politically. There was a Facebook version I used six years ago, but unfortunately that seems to have been lost in one of the updates.

Also, the only two ways that people die in Rhesia are old age (89%) and being lost in the wilderness (11%).

The Fourth Estate

I have also found the nation I made when I was sixteen.

The Republic of Bosworth II is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. Its compassionate, cynical population of 890 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 96%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Ten year-olds regularly found their own political parties, torture is illegal, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, and the Supreme Court protects civil rights and the right to privacy vehemently. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bosworth II's national animal is the two-headed eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the antelope.

One I made just now:

The Republic of Thurnwick is a fledgling, safe nation, renowned for its strong anti-business policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 54%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.

Crime is totally unknown. Thurnwick's national animal is the Wombear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Groat.

I'm not sure what it says that not much has changed.

The average income tax rate is 49%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Davidsdurions's national animal is the Pit bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Bitbill.
