United States
Federal presidential republic
United States leans hardest toward Local, Private and Democracy.
The 12 axes, with receipts
Federal system where states are "laboratories of democracy", plus tribal sovereignty.
Long-standing electoral democracy; ballot initiatives in many states but none nationally.
The First Amendment protects almost all speech; police have broad stop powers; drug laws split by state.
Not in the ICC and repeatedly leaves climate and health agreements.
The world’s largest military, often used abroad; volunteer force with draft registration.
Melting-pot tradition alongside great diversity; immigration bitterly contested.
Private ownership is the norm; estate tax hits only very large estates; market-based health care.
Market pricing and a low federal minimum wage, with new industrial policy (CHIPS, IRA).
Sharp turn to high tariffs and reshoring; CFIUS blocks foreign takeovers.
Constitutional separation, but religion is prominent in politics; school vouchers expanding.
Same-sex marriage nationwide, but abortion law split state by state since 2022.
Frontier-tech leader in AI, space and biotech; growth usually wins over conservation.

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.
