Profile across the 12 cunnys
- Very strong · Federal
Niya Structure
Rationale
Our Communalism definition includes “seeking to replace the state with a free confederation”. This clause must be read for which central institutions it retains or rejects; opposition to a state or party is not endorsement of centralized territorial power.
- Very strong · Democracy
Ayane Representation
Rationale
Our Communalism definition includes “a community economy and direct democracy”. Popular decision-making and recall bear on democratic authorization; restricted membership can still limit who participates.
- Strong · Liberty
Wakamo Power
Rationale
Our Communalism model centers on autonomous municipalities with federated popular assemblies, a community economy and direct democracy, replacing the state with a free confederation. That core does not specify the permissible use of public coercion versus protected personal autonomy. The form of government does not alone establish the extent of surveillance, repression or civil liberty.
- Very strong · Multiculturalism
Serina Immigration
Rationale
Our Communalism model centers on autonomous municipalities with federated popular assemblies, a community economy and direct democracy, replacing the state with a free confederation. That core does not specify minority membership, migration and the coexistence of cultural identities. Shared economic interests or a universal philosophical ethic do not alone specify immigration or cultural-integration policy.
- Very strong · Pacifist
Mari Diplomacy
Rationale
Our Communalism model centers on autonomous municipalities with federated popular assemblies, a community economy and direct democracy, replacing the state with a free confederation. That core does not specify the political role of organized armed force and acceptance of war. Domestic coercion, economic state intervention and national pride do not by themselves establish militarism or pacifism.
- Very strong · Non-interventionist
Hina Intervention
Rationale
Our Communalism model centers on autonomous municipalities with federated popular assemblies, a community economy and direct democracy, replacing the state with a free confederation. That core does not specify coercive foreign projection into other peoples or states. This axis concerns foreign intervention, not nationalism, domestic regulation, cultural confidence or military preparedness alone.
- Very strong · Public
Minori Economy
Rationale
Our Communalism model centers on autonomous municipalities with federated popular assemblies, a community economy and direct democracy, replacing the state with a free confederation. That core does not specify ownership of productive assets, land and enterprises. Welfare spending, moral solidarity and expert administration do not by themselves abolish or privatize productive ownership.
- Strong · Planning
Cherino Control
Rationale
Our Communalism definition includes “a community economy and direct democracy”. Self-management or needs-based cooperation supplies a noncentralized coordination model, which is not identical to a capitalist market.
- Strong · Protectionism
Kisaki Trade
Rationale
Our Communalism model centers on autonomous municipalities with federated popular assemblies, a community economy and direct democracy, replacing the state with a free confederation. That core does not specify cross-border trade, capital flows and economic integration. Domestic market freedom and international cultural solidarity are different claims from a free-trade policy.
- Very strong · Secular governance
Kei Religion in governance
Rationale
Our Communalism model centers on autonomous municipalities with federated popular assemblies, a community economy and direct democracy, replacing the state with a free confederation. That core does not specify whether public rules and political authority are grounded in religious doctrine. Personal faith, atheism, religious identity and rejection of a state do not alone establish the source of public rules.
- Very strong · Progressive
Hanako Morality
Rationale
Our Communalism model centers on autonomous municipalities with federated popular assemblies, a community economy and direct democracy, replacing the state with a free confederation. That core does not specify public attitudes toward inherited customs, family, gender and social change. Economic redistribution, technological novelty and a religious affiliation do not uniquely determine every moral position.
- Leaning · Biology
Atsuko Technology
Rationale
Our Communalism model centers on autonomous municipalities with federated popular assemblies, a community economy and direct democracy, replacing the state with a free confederation. That core does not specify the priority given to technological transformation versus ecological or bodily limits. Historical age, rural life and scientific reasoning do not by themselves establish acceptance or rejection of all technology.
