Along with the death penalty, parental licensing, corporal punishment, prudism, and conscription.
Meanwhile, it ranks extremely low in ignorance, political apathy, weaponization, crime, political freedom, and civil rights... With a very high amount of authoritarianism, and with just over 50% of the population considering themselves unhappy.
From what I've read elsewhere, my nation should most likely be a Nazi-esque hellhole... Instead, it's like a mix of Scandinavia and Singapore.

These have little effect on your classification, minus welfare.There's marriage equality, sex education, capitalism, and euthanasia...Along with the death penalty, parental licensing, corporal punishment, prudism, and conscription.
Umm, yeah bro, the latter part isn't exactly what you call a nice state.It ranks extremely low in ignorance, political apathy, weaponization, crime, political freedom, and civil rights... With a very high amount of authoritarianism, and with just over 50% of the population considering themselves unhappy.
Well, the first two don't matter, the others tend to mean your nation is pretty dictatorial.

Is my nation dictatorial though? It uses sortition, which effectively means the government is chosen by random.

That description doesn't match a society graded to be highly inclusive, compassionate, with gay marriage, and high living standards...
The oppressive part seems to match the nation's extreme intolerance towards crime, ubiquitous surveillance, and nanny-state government regulations.
It's almost like adding another dimension to the classification would be better... As in, a nation that is nominally oppressive, but uses government control to help people (high social spending, good health, etc.) rather than say use them as human resources to ruthlessly expand the economy, or keep a certain social class in power.

Valentine Z wrote:So it is completely possible for a nation with rather bad civil rights (among other rights being suppressed) to have inclusiveness, a degree of compassion, here and there. So the thing is, from what I can see with your stats, your Authoritarianism is not high enough to be a Dictatorship that treats people badly, at least looking at it right now. I see that it used to be higher, or perhaps even one of the top few.
Psychotic Dictatorships with nice stats take a bit of working with. Compassion and Niceness, as far as I am concerned, will absolutely tank as you go on and on. Since your nation is relatively new, and perhaps due to the choices you have made, it might perhaps explain why you have the good stats.
Here's a chart detailing Authoritarianism >= 4000 with other stats put in. Softness Index is my own one - it normalises and adds [Compassion, Niceness, Inclusiveness, Cheerfulness] together in an attempt to show nations that are rather nice to live in, if not for the constant surveillance.(Image)
Still, it's absolutely normal for a Psychotic Dictatorship to have really good Inclusiveness. Such is the case with my puppet nation, Samantha-Higgs, which has some "soft" stats here and there being in Top 1%. The idea is that while you might suppress people, everyone is treated equally in a morbid way - since your nation treats people as playthings or resources, it does not matter who the people are as long as they can work for the betterment of your nation. And thus where the inclusiveness came from.
Compassion vs Auth. Note that there are exceptions here and there.(Image)
Niceness vs Auth. Nearly same as above.(Image)
HDI vs Auth. For this, however, it was thanks to a large number of dictatorship nations not answering an issue and thus never bringing up their HDI. So it's not that it defaults down to ~ 40.00 HDI for really, really authoritarian nations; this was a meta cause. It still shows that it's possible for dictatorships to have good HDIs.(Image)
Dictatorships can still yield nice and compassionate people if they started off as some other nation classification in the first place. Think of a nation that has recently underwent a regime change and the nice and compassionate people are now ruled by a despot. Maybe they didn't lose hope and they are still soft (as per the Softness Index), but over time, that hope could drift away and people become less and less optimistic or happy about their futures. A dictatorship also does not necessarily mean that these soft stats, or Health / HDI, has to be really, really awful. The government might treat its people as mere resources, but even they can and will know that a healthy citizen is an efficient citizen.

Thank you! ^^ Ahh, yeah, it's done using Python and NS' API calls. Python and Matplotlib is a beautiful thing. I used to use Excel, but I only use it now to clean up the .csv a little bit.
As additional help and to supplement Noah's comment, here's a chart of average rights for each of the categories. All the data I have obtained are accurate as of 8-11th of June (it's been a while, and even when automated, it takes a while to get all of the nations' data). ^^
I know most RPing nations don't use NS Stats that often as they aren't canonical, but hey, it's good to see someone that wants to make the stats in-line with their nation's canon. All the best with moving forward!

I am planning on doing a Git repo somewhere in the future, but I will most very likely need to clean up my code first. ^^ It's a little messy but it works for me. Now I want to make sure it works for everyone.
