Judging from that point of view and from your nation's page I would say that even though the "The government is there to protect and not to support social welfare programs." could be seen as libertarian/right wing, I still believe that your nation is Left Wing - Authoritarian, also regarding the fact that your nation banned private industry and there don't seem to be much civil rights or political freedoms either :?

Evidently the nation which commissioned this study believes the Queendom is best described as Right-Wing/Authoritarian. We tend to agree.

Right wing, authoritarian, though with some reform. Basically, you're allowed to argue with or even insult the government. But do pretty much anything else, and you're going to end up on the wrong end of a firing line.

Actual crimes, in particular, are pretty universally solved via gunfire.

Oh, and there's no "right" to privacy. If there's evidence you might be a threat, your house will bristle with cameras. So don't be a dick and you're fine, basically.

Left Wing, Libertarian

Most of the goods and services in Concordeia come from the private sector, but there are no corporations or stock markets. By law, all businesses and their capital are owned and managed democratically (either directly or representatively) by their workers (or consumers, depending on the type of cooperative).
Additionally, the money supply is regulated by a network of public banks using the Social Credit system. Civil liberties are extensive and social/cultural tolerance is highly encouraged.

Fully Centrist. There are some things we like to regulate, and some aspects of the economy we like to keep free. Society is more libertarian, but there is still a strong centralized and somewhat authoritarian aspect to government.

Everything is run and owned by Station 12. Possessions are not technically owned by citizens, they are just allowed to keep them. People are assigned jobs based on their skill, based on mandatory semi-annual surveys, not based on what humans would think of them after talking to them for a short while. All factories and productions are run by Station 12. Maintenance is a human task, but they are payed with food and luxuries that come from the factories of Station 12.

When looking at your Nation's page and the description you give, I would say you are Right Wing - libertarian. It's libertarian for sure.

Dictatorships doesn't automatically mean authoritarianism.

You have allot of civil rights, personal liberties, political freedoms, a good economy, ect.

It's Right Wing - Libertarian.

And if it is not Right Wing then atleast it is Centrist - Libertarian.

:p

Well, I think it's fairly simple - choose the option you bear the closest resemblance to.

If your nation is communist - Left Wing, Authoritarian
If your nation is an anarchy - Right Wing, Libertarian
If your nation is liberal but neither socialist nor capitalist - Centrist, Libertarian

But this doesn't mean every Left Wing, Authoritarian nation is Communist, or that every Right Wing, Libertarian state is an anarchy.

Choose the one you are closest too, if it doesn't fit into the extremes then look for the centrist ones.

The Teccorri Republic is considered centrist, even by opposing left and right-wing political analysts. The current Chancellor has passed and supported Grand Senate passing of social reforms, as well as a conservative stance on economics.

The current administration's capitalist economic stature, steadfast stance on abolishing racism, reforms in opening up most LGBT rights, and almost total absense of welfare programs seem to oust Chancellor Adarti's leadership as a fair and centrist one.

I would say Centrist, Libertarian.

And when taking a look at your Nation's page I would say your nation is definitely Centrist, Libertarian.

left wing libertarian. We are the closest to a Social Democracy with very good civil rights. People have four freedoms as our mottos said, "Freedom of Speech and Religion, and from Want and Fear". We are a welfare state so we provide generous welfare to our citizens. Taxes are high but no one has to worry about where the next meal is coming from. Our ruling party is the Van Rose Social Liberal Party which is a social demoractic party.

I would increase the goverment spending for Healthcare and Edcuation,

I would also choose to significantly increase the budget for lawn & order(to be more exact - atleast give it a budget),

And increasing the commerce budget would be a good way to help the economy.

You cannot change tax rate, unemployment rate or goverment spending directly, but what I would advise is that when you are making decissions you keep the tax rate and economy in mind.

Also, you have a high unemployment rate, trade deficit, low GDP per capita, and a huge ass amount of money being spend on social welfare, wich results in unemployment(if it's too high, also - your comerce budget is too low, try to increase it :p )

Atleast - that's what I do :p

I believe my tax rate is way to high(I am still looking for what caused it to go up by 7 percent :?) and I could increase money spend on commerce.

From what I have seen, the commerce budget increases the economy rating, decreases unemployment, increasing GDP per capita and also increases trade.(I use nseconomy)

Tax Rate decreases consumption(also imports???) and is generally bad for the economy(atleast, high taxes).

Usualy I find ~25% to be a good number, lower ofcourse, is good too. Altough that may cause a goverment shortage wich leads to less money being spend on law & order, education, healthcare, social welfare and commerce wich leads to an increase in crime.
