These would be:Democratic <-> TyrannyFree <-> RestrictedMilitant <-> PeacefulDefinitions:Democratic - will of the majority rulesTyranny - will of the one, or few, rulesFree - the government says what is illegal, otherwise you can do itRestricted - the government says what is legal, otherwise you cannot do itMilitant - a willingness to launch aggressive wars into other landsPeaceful - a refusal to do anything militarily other then defend ones own land, maybe not even thatOf course nations are complex animals, you could have a nation where the citizens(perhaps determined by those who have sereved in the military) live in a free, democratic socitey, where as noncitizens live in a restricted, tyranny.You could throw in other alignments for nations as well, like:patriotic <-> unpatriotic(can't think of a better term)how much people within a nation love or hate ittraditionalist <-> progressivehow much people are unwilling or willing to except changeThought? Concerns?</blockquote>
