Welcome to the Ryccia Politics Institute!
Politica et Claritas Nostra Missionem

Yes, Ryccia's Institute on NS Political Science! Sure, I may not be perfect and whatnot, but I try to investigate and categorize NS Politics in my humble institute!

Sure, you may join as one of our Political Scientists, but I don't expect anyone to do so.

Here, Ryccia Politics Institute publishes works on NS Political Science done by our scientists, after general agreement from all or most(75%) the Institute.

Ryccia NationStates Politics Formula(RNPF)

Ryccia NationStates Politics Formula(RNPF)

Overview

In this simple formula constructed by Ryccia(i.e. Me), we try to structure a political spectrum for NS Politics. Our goal is to structure this spectrum for political parties and NS Politics overall. 

The formula may change at any time, either by my thinking or by suggestions.

How do I categorize this?

Depending on the total points from the test, we use the formula to place this result on the RNPF Political Spectrum.

-9/-7: Far-Left
-6/-4: Left
-3/-1: Centre-Left
0: Centrist
1/3: Centre-Right
4/6: Right
7/9: Far-Right

I took the test. I got a -6. Therefore, by RNPF Standards, I am a Leftist.

*Notice: This may not be accurate. If you find that you have no answer, either choose the closest one to you, or choose the two closest answers and put yourself in the middle(ex. Between a 1 and a 2=1.5. Between a 1 and a 0.5=0.75).

Most interesting, although I think you shouldn't go left to right. There are too many actual leftists on NS and it'll get confusing.

You kinda portray the right side to be downright oppressive.

TBH, No.

Ryccia calls for the right to be totalitarian. They may be conservatives but by all means are not that downright oppressive.
