THE GLOSSARY

Sixteen archetypes. Each one a country-shape.

Every player's 11 answers cluster into one of 7 single-dominant or 9 paired shapes, plotted across 7 civic dimensions. Each archetype carries a light line (what its country is proud of) and a dark line (what it's blind to). The dark lines have 64 sub-variants — your specific dark line depends on your secondary dimension.

The seven dimensions

Health

Care, healing, public well-being.

Knowledge

Education, science, learning.

Prosperity

Trade, jobs, making things.

Freedom

Speech, choice, open roads.

Tradition

Memory, ritual, continuity.

Nature

Land, breath, ecology.

Safety

Order, protection, calm.

Single-dominant · 7 archetypes

Triggered when one dimension scores ≥35 AND ≥10 above the next. Country with one clear voice.

Paired · 9 archetypes

Triggered when two dimensions both score ≥20 and are within 8 of each other. A country balancing two strong values.

The 64-line library

Same archetype. Different dark line.

Two players who land on The Builder won't share the same dark line. Each archetype has 4 sub-variants keyed to your secondary-dominant dimension. Total: 64 unique dark lines.

A Builder + Knowledge gets "It reads the balance sheet, not the room."
A Builder + Nature gets "It mills the forest and calls the stumps 'capacity.'"
