https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NS_politicalmap.png
Each Nation has a WA Category that is determined by their ranking on three axes: Personal Freedom, Economic Freedom, and Political Freedom. The rankings are determined by the government style and quiz answers when the nation is created. A nation may be ranked Authoritarian, Centrist, or Libertarian in each. With three ranks on three axes, there are 27 possible combinations, and each is given a title, called its WA Category. See the second picture below for a graphic representation.
Note that the three axes are distinct from the three descriptors (Civil Rights, Economy, and Political Freedoms) that show on a nation's "Spotlight On" page. Due to the similarities in the names, there is much confusion on this. But since a nation can change WA Category without changing any of the three descriptors, it is clear these must be two separate systems. Also note that the descriptors have 15 levels each (though there are some who say there are only 14 levels of Civil Rights).

Thinly-disguised totalitarianism where the state is controlled by one person or body completely and unilaterally.

Categories of Govt Types/Freedoms/Economy and Post #s/Names
by United Earthlings » Wed May 12, 2010 1:03 am
OCC: For some unknown reason the information below never made the transition from the old
forum into the new international incidents sticky. Main Credit goes to Euroslavia, I just did a
little reformatting and updating to bring it in line with the new forum format.
Categories of Government Types, Freedoms, Economy, Post
Numbers and Their Names
*A Note on FREEDOMS: While for the time being this is simply observations of an
anecdotal nature having observed how the game functions for the past decade, I would be
remiss in stating clearly that the below FREEDOM guide is more akin to a guide then an
exact science since one’s government category directly corresponds to how one’s nation
implements their issues. Put simply, a nation can have three high freedoms and still be a
Left Leaning Civil Rights Lovefest or even a balanced Inoffensive Centrist Democracy or
even a multitude of variance therein. With that in mind, I have noted as such in the below
guide of what is currently known by me, in the future if you wish to provide additional data
sets I will more than happily edit in the additional data.*

World Assembly Category
A heatmap showing the distribution ofNationStates Government Categories
From NSindex, The unofficial NationStates reference
A World AssemblyCategory[1] (alsoknown as GovernmentCategory, and not tobe confused with aGovernmentClassification) gives anoverall summary ofeach country's threekey measurement offreedoms: civil,economic and politicalrights.There are 27 categories,and a country can bereclassified either byanswering most issues,or through a WorldAssembly GeneralAssembly resolution ifthey are a member of the organisation.You can start a nation with any category: in 2011, Unibot authored a"cheat-sheet" for nation creation.[2] This is no longer necessary, asnow when creating a nation, the three stats are displayed.
Typical distribution of categoriesThe data in this section provides a typical idea of the distribution ofeach category in the world of NationStates.[3] While definitive becauseof the source, because a few hundred nations per day may changecategories either by responding to some issues or a new GeneralAssembly resolution. At the time of this assessment, there were115,801 active nations.The games alternative themes, Conservative and Liberal, crosses outthe standard categories and replaces it with alternative titles, but thedescription remains unaffected.

Government Type
From NSWiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Each Nation has a government type (or "Category") that is determined by their ranking on three
axes: Personal Freedom, Economic Freedom, and Political Freedom. The rankings are
determined by the government style and quiz answers when the nation is created. A nation may
be ranked Authoritarian, Centrist, or Libertarian in each. With three ranks on three axes, there
are 27 possible combinations, and each is given a title, called its Category. (These were formerly
called "UN Categories," before the UN disbanded in April 2008.)
Note that the three axes are distinct from the three descriptors (Civil Rights, Economy, and
Political Freedoms) that show on a nation's "Spotlight On" page. Due to the similarities in the
names, there is much confusion on this. But since a nation can change Category without
changing any of the three descriptors, it is clear these must be two separate systems. Also note
that the descriptors have 15 levels each (though there are some who say there are only 14 levels
of Civil Rights).

Category Glossary
Category: Overview: NS nation page description:
Anarchy No state actually exists.
Citizens live in a state of perpetual fear, as
a complete breakdown of social order has
led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
Authoritarian
Democracy
Not really a democracy, but a
dictatorship pretending to be one.
Citizens are prohibited from doing almost
everything except voting, which they do
timidly and conservatively.
Benevolent
Dictatorship
A dictatorship ruled by someone
who pays no attention to the
people and allows them to do
whatever they want, except
challenge the government.
Citizens enjoy great individual freedoms in
everything except elections, which, where
they exist at all, are populist shams for a
dictatorship government that has no
intention of ever giving up power.
Capitalist
Paradise
No restrictions whatsoever are
placed on trade; civil rights and
political rights are not repressed
but take a back seat to the
economy.
Citizens are either ruled by a small,
efficient government or a conglomerate of
multinational corporations; it's difficult to
tell which.
Capitalizt It's all about business. Civil rights
are generous.
Citizens enjoy some of the most opulent
lifestyles in the region, unless they are
unemployed or working-class, in which
case they are variously starving to death or
crippled by easily preventable diseases.
Civil Rights
Lovefest
Libertarian rule, with less
emphasis on the economy and
more on civil and political rights.
Citizens hold their civil and political rights
very dear, although the wealthy and those
in business tend to be viewed with
suspicion.
Compulsory
Consumerist
State
This is similar to Iron Fist
Consumerists, but the
government mandates that you
spend money to keep the
economy up. This is a form of
dictatorship, with very little in the
way of political rights and modest
civil rights.
Citizens are rabid consumers, partly
through choice and partly because the
government tells them to and dissenters
tend to vanish from their homes at night.
Conservative
Democracy
People are free to vote but tend to
avoid other types of freedom.
Citizens are known throughout the region
for their efficiency and work ethic, as well
as their general suspicion of leisure.
Corporate
Bordello
Free trade, free market, not-so-
free merchandise. Civil rights are
moderate; political rights are
generous.
Citizens are effectively ruled by a group of
massive corporations, who run for political
office and provide their well-off citizens
with world-class goods and services. Their
poorer citizens, however, are mostly
starving to death while being urged to go
out and get real jobs. The populace has
reasonably extensive civil rights, although
these are mostly aimed at allowing them to
buy whatever they like.
Corporate
Police State
The government = big businesses.
Individuals have few rights and
have to buy from the top
corporations.
Citizens 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.
Corrupt
Dictatorship
A totalitarian state in which the
government will interfere with
everything, lowering political and
economic rights and adopting a
fluctuating civil rights policy.
Citizens are ruled with an iron fist by the
dictatorship government, which ensures
that no-one outside the party gets too rich.
In their personal lives, however, citizens are
relatively unoppressed; it remains to be
seen whether this is because the
government genuinely cares about its
people, or if it hasn't gotten around to
stamping out civil rights yet.
Democratic
Socialists
Political Freedoms in this state
would be regarded as average,
while the government is
omnipresent and has much say in
the economy, with citizens
having few economic rights.
Citizens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy
great social equality; they tend to view
other, more capitalist countries as
somewhat immoral and corrupt.
Father Knows
Best State
The government will usually
interfere in the lives of everyone.
It works like a parent. One does
what they think is best.
Citizens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent
dictator, who grants the populace the
freedom to live their own lives but watches
carefully for anyone to slip up.
Free-Market
Paradise
People are free to vote and make
money but have few civil rights.
Citizens enjoy frequent elections, which are
uniformly corrupted by big-spending
corporations buying politicians who best
suit their interests.
Inoffensive
Centrist
Democracy
Where the people have a good
mix of political and civil rights as
well as security. Obviously most
Citizens have some civil rights, but not too
many, enjoy the freedom to spend their
money however they like, to a point, and
centrist of the UN Categories as
well as the most common.
take part in free and open elections,
although not too often.
Iron Fist
Consumerists
This is an oppressive state that
focuses on the economy. Supply
and Demand are the two
commandments.
Citizens are kept under strict control by the
oppressive government, which measures its
success by the nation's GDP and refers to
individual citizens as "human resources."
Iron Fist
Socialists
The state is omnipresent, and will
provide everything for its people
except political freedom.
Citizens are ruled with an iron fist by the
socialist government, which grants its
people the freedom to do whatever they like
so long as it doesn't involve getting richer
than anybody else or challenging the
government.
Left-Leaning
College State
What would happen if college
students ruled the world. Civil
rights are the main priority,
followed by political rights.
Citizens enjoy extensive civil freedoms,
particularly in social issues, while business
tends to be more regulated.
Left-wing
Utopia
The democratic government
grants broad civil rights but keeps
a tight leash on business.
Citizens 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.
Liberal
Democratic
Socialists
Like Democratic Socialists, but
more concerned with social
reforms and without an oppriment
centralist government.
Citizens 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.
Libertarian
Police State
The state does nothing to impede
on your private life, yet will
require you to register everything
down to your sneakers with a
bureau of some sort.
Citizens 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.
Moralistic
Democracy
A self-righteous democracy in
which morality influences
everything.
Citizens are highly moralistic and fiercely
conservative, in the sense that they tend to
believe most things should be outlawed.
People who have good jobs and work
quietly at them are lauded; others are
viewed with suspicion.
New York
Times
Democracy
Liberal democracy, with elections
heavily influenced by the media.
Citizens enjoy a sensible mix of personal
and economic freedoms, while the political
process is open and the people's right to
vote held sacrosanct.
Psychotic
Dictatorship
Corrupt, authoritarian state where
everyone is considered the
leader's toy.
Citizens are ruled without fear or favor by a
psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about
everything and refers to the populace as
"my little playthings."
Right-wing
Utopia
A conservative state where little
change is desired or put into
action. Religion will usually play
the role of the media.
Citizens are free to succeed or fail in life on
their own merits; the successful tend to
enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle,
while the failures can be seen crowding out
most jails.
Scandinavian
Liberal
Paradise
High taxes, tons of civil freedom,
but a weak economy.
Citizens enjoy extensive civil rights and
enjoy a level of social equality free from
the usual accompanying government
corruption.
Tyranny by
Majority
Pure democracy without minority
rights.
Citizens enjoy great social freedoms and
frequent elections, where the majority of
the populace regularly votes to increase its
benefits at the expense of various hapless
minorities.
