Just updated the quiz! It now has 18 questions.

Nuremgard, Confederal States
Well, the Nazis murdered the leader of the SA, Ernst Röhm. One of their arguments was that he was homosexual.
Heinrich Himmler established a department of the Gestapo, the Reich Central Office for the Combating of Homosexuality and Abortion. As leader of the SS he was strictly against homosexuality. They also put high ranking officers in the concentration camp for their homosexuality. On the 15th Nov 1941 the "Decree of the Führer to keep the SS and police clean" was put into effect. Every member that was convicted of homosexuality were sentenced to death. There was also §175 of the Reich penal code that prohibited homosexual acts among men. Tho the Nazis extended that section and made the sanctions more extreme.

I'll look into it.

My case: 91% Fascist Social Democrat 62%
Somehow Marxist communist: 43%?!
Nuremgard
How did you answer the test?
Grim but interesting.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Your Result: Social Liberal: 91%
91%Social Democrat
64%Left-Libertarian
43%Christian Democrat
42%Marxist Communist
32%Right-Libertarian
31%Anarchist Communist
30%Fascist
9%Neoconservative
6%Paleoconservative
I like the new questions you added but might I suggest one slight change? In the religion question, I chose that government should not interfere with religion and vice versa. But there should be a caveat saying, "the government should not interfere with religion as long as the religious are not breaking the law."
Penguania And Antarctica
Now I got
83% Right Libertarian
63%Paleoconservative
63%Neoconservative
[B]51%Social Liberal
45%Christian Democrat
36%Left-Libertarian
32%Social Democrat
17%Marxist Communist
15%Anarchist Communist
11%Fascist
Previously I had 93 RL.
And that difference between SocLib and Christian Democracy seems weird. It would make sense if they were placed dofferently
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Also, it now says I'm a social liberal and that social liberals are opposed to nationalisation. I am pro-nationalisation.
What are your thoughts on the state? : The state is much like an organism that like any other living organism needs function, health, and development How should the state be organized? The state should be organized unitarily. Provinces have little to no autonomy and most power rests with the national government. Should there be a state religion? No, and there should be no religion What is your view on private property? It should be allowed in its entirety. How would you reform the tax system? Support a flat tax as an alternative to a progressive tax system. What is your position on climate change? It is happening and is anthropogenic. To combat it, public action will have to be taken to reduce carbon emissions. What is your position on health care? Health care should be private, but everyone should also have a public option for health insurance. What is your view on education? Education public matter and should remain so. What is your view of corporatism?
A beneficial economic system in which capital and labor can cooperate for better conditions for both. What are your thoughts on nationalization? Critical industries need to be nationalized. However, most of the market should remain in private hands.
To make it faster: 11: Our nation must expand throughout our region to fulfill our territorial goals and become self-sufficient.
12: Autarky 13: Improve security and deport illegals 14: All drugs legalised 15: No regulation 16: The part about negative liberty 17 Always legal 18: I am opposed to it, but I do support civil unions.
Sorry for long it is.
Nuremgard
I was surprised that my Christian Democrat scoring was quite high.
Economically, Christian democracy can either be left wing or right wing. That's why it was so weird. I wanted to take into account different types of Christian democrats. And no, I cannot divide them into greater subsections. There is a limit on how many results I can put in.
Nuremgard
Fixed that. Try retaking the test now.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
What is your political ideology?
Your Result: Fascist
91%
Social Democrat 62%

28%Right-Libertarian

Nuremgard
It probably relates to economics.
Nuremgard
I'm very left-wing economically. Well, I'm very left-wing in general.
Could you provide a fresh link to the quiz? I tried the old one and the religion question hasn't been modified on it.
I am surprised you only support civil unions.

could i ask why?
Dunno. I thought you'd support gay marriage. Oh well.
While i am personally against Homosexuality i will say what i always use in the case of Abortion, it doenst matter what i think is right, everyone should have right to their thing, be it abortion or same sex marriage.
So in other words its wrong from me to support freedom while i personally would like to restrict certain things, everyone has their rights no matter if i think its wrong or not.
Not to mention just because i am against homosexuality doesnt mean i hate homosexuals, if i did one of my best friends wouldnt be gay.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Fair enough then.
In international news, New Salvatore is undergoing a royalist revolution. The formerly ruling Fascist Party has been kicked out of power and dissolved along with all other political parties. The army is keeping order while the King and his courtiers consolidate power among themselves.

Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Where did it ask if the state was sacred?
Oh it didn't, that's just my word choice. Questions 1 and 17 appear to be designed to separate the statists from the anarchists
I suppose I'd be what you might call a statist.
One answer will not decide the result. How did you answer the rest of the questions in the test?
What is your political ideology?
Your Result: Fascist

I am now even bigger fascist! HOW?

I have further balanced the quiz. Can you tell me what the rest of your result is?
Since i had to go to the quiz again i did all the things the same way, except due to the new question about prison i have put to be as brutal as possible.
So this is my new results:
What is your political ideology?
Your Result: Fascist
77%
Fascism is a political ideology that emerged in Italy after WWI in opposition to liberalism and Marxism and espouses corporatist economics, autarky, irredentism, the organic theory of the state, and the destruction of liberal democracy.

Is it accurate?
Marxism/Anarchy/Social= NEVER!
Christian Democrat= Religion in all its forms must die.
Conservative= OK with that
Libertarian= Certainly
Left Libertarian= Not really.
Fascist= Do i look like a psycho? Yet i agree with self sufficient economy and National pride.

Marxist communism seeks to achieve communism, a stateless and classless society, by implementing Marx's theories on class struggle and revolution. Unlike anarchists, Marxists support a transition between capitalism and communism through a socialist state that would eventually wither away due to its extreme efficiency.

The Issue
Infighting between major religious groups over which faith should represent Spanelsko in an international exhibition of holy relics escalated to a new high, today. After the latest incident, in which one official received a concussion from a sacred healing stone, all of the religious leaders are at last united - in demanding you choose a national religion.
There is only one real religion. Communi---- i mean Atheism.
The only deity this country needs is the one it already has, master, says Emmanuel Syme, one of your creepier advisers while obsequiously bowing on the floor. I of course refer to you, General of Iberian Union, the finest ruler any humble subject could hope to have! We long to worship you and do your bidding!

I know it's early, but I've made up my mind on this, come the next election -that includes SCJs-, I'll be dropping my position on the Supreme Court for a run for Chancellor :)

Slough is the economic, cultural, and political center of the United Kingdom. Without it, Cornwall would secede and the end of the United Kingdom would begin.

FVCK YOU IT'S TEA TIME
OUR SNACKS THAT YOU WILL ENJOY DAMNIT: Cabbage and soy sauce, Rocky Mountain oysters, and some meat I found in an unlabeled can Unf left lying around.
DRINK OR ELSE: The soy sauce from earlier, flat Pepsi (AKA grosser-than-usual Pepsi), and whatever's in these bottles Vista put in the fridge.
LET'S HAVE A CIVILIZED GODDAMN CONVERSATION AROUND HERE AND TALK ABOUT: Lizzie Borden, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and early 2000's fashion.
JUST IN CASE YOU MONKEYS NEED ANOTHER DISTRACTION: Write a poem about the CoFN, using the words "Cheese", "flowerpot", and "raining" at least thrice, and sticking to a strict A-B-B-A rhyme scheme.

Oysters and flat Pepsi.
I've always felt that Lizzie Borden got screwed. There's no more evidence that she did what she was accused of than there is in the OJ case. Someday they'll be together in the White Bronco of being framed in the sky.
A-B-B-A rhyme sequence?
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try
That's as close to an A-B-B-A rhyme sequence as you sh!ts are getting from me.

You just ate bull testes.

In Saskatchewan, we call those prairie oysters and eating them is basically a right of passage.
Oh boyo, I wish I was joking...
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
I'm more than aware of that. Flat Pepsi doesn't go with actual oysters.
They're very good

Hello Everybody,
I am the recently appointed Acting President of The Region That Has No Big Banks, and I want to bring more activity to my once thriving region. For so long we have had a drought of activity but with my appointment there is hope. Now that there is an active member in charge I would like to contact the regions we have embassies with and ask them if they can help us regain activity. We have many region citizens who log on to NS everyday but don't post. If members of our embassy regions would be kind enough to post on our RMB to draw our native population back to the RMB your help would be greatly apprentiated.
Thank You,
Acting President Petroslovania.

After the death of Fernando II, his son and heir, Antonio has been declared King of New Salvatore in an international press conference. The King is dead, long live the King!

Hello and welcome.
My name is Peng and I'm currently the Minister of Justice of this region.
Make yourself at home and enjoy your stay. :)

A national poll has revealed that ordinary people don't consider King Antonio relatable. He was just declared King this morning. This is not an auspicious beginning to his reign. But he said he loves basketball, which lead to:
King Antonio I can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids.

An adult man, in a catholic nation, speaking with kids, what could go wrong?
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
I am sure he is chatting with those kids about the environmental beauty and industrial prowess of Slough.

Ooh, shots fired.

I observed that on quite a lot of occasions people don't care for traditions or rituals. For instance taking of your headdress when an anthem is played. I think those things are signs of respect and dignity.
Is it just me or did others of you observe that too?
Kalaron, Spanelsko
I've seen it too. Over here I think it's the result of a few unfortunate things tbqf like the degeneration of media, the lack of patriotism from continued misconceptions -deceptions?- about our latest wars and the simple fact that this generation is more insular than before.

Welcome to the CoFN! My name is Aleksander D. Coltsov and I am the current Premier of the Equestrian Union and the Supreme Ruler of Russia. Pleased to meet you.

The only thing I do out of respect is stopping as a funeral procession passes, everyone in my home town always did it, sort of a respect for humanity as opposed to respect for authority.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica
Or maybe traditions, rituals and patriotism are ill-fitting concepts in an increasingmy international and cosmopolitan world. As for the lies/deceptions thing, the US have done enough things in broad daykight to warrant not being proud of it.
