Hi there.

I'm thinking about starting a Storybook set in a parliament/government and I want as much conflict within it as possible. I need left-wingers, right-wingers, liberals, authoritarians, and with as many opposing views as possible.

This could get quite bogged down in details, so if the intricacies of politics doesn't interest you, you'll probably get bored. However, if motions, conferences and amendments make you scratch your head, say "hmm", then gasp and shout "I've got it!", then this, my honourable friend, may be the SB for you.

Don't get me wrong, there'll be plenty of campaigning, and debating with your opponents. Which is why I need players from all over the political axes. The political co-ordinates test defines you not only on the left-right spectrum, but on the up-down axis as well (up being authoritarian and down being liberal). Post your results below if you're interested in what I've described below, and we'll try not to start a war.

I'll start:

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
