The 12 axes, with receipts
Unitary state with powerful municipalities and uniform national rules.
Consensus democracy with independent agencies; referendums are rare and advisory.

Pro-EU, a generous aid donor with an internationalist identity.
Ended 200 years of non-alignment by joining NATO; conscription back since 2017.
A long open-door tradition now tightened, with new language and values tests.
State energy and rail firms, yet no inheritance tax since 2004 and widely contracted-out schools and care.
No statutory minimum wage (unions set pay); regulated rents.
Small open economy and staunch free trader.
One of the world’s most secular societies; church and state separated in 2000.

How we score countries: each one answers the same 60 questions you do, based on its laws and mainstream consensus, not whoever is in power right now. Historical regimes answer for their own period, and questions that didn't exist back then are skipped. It's a simplification, not a verdict.
