Proximity: Neighbors
25 on a scale of 0 (close) to 100 (far). Closer than 83% of all pairs.
These are close neighbors, a difference of 25 on the 0 to 100 scale. Their differences spread across both values and principles. Direct opposition appears on 3 dimensions, 8 differ in degree rather than direction, and on a single dimension one profile engages a question the other sets aside. The sharpest split is Material Aspiration: Sparta stands in core opposition where Confederate States of America strongly supports. Both hold Consent & Anti-Coercion, Non-Maleficence (Restraint), and 3 more as core commitments.
Clusters
SpartaOrdered Tradition
Tradition & Continuity and Sanctity & Transcendence run high with Authority & Hierarchy elevated, while Non-Maleficence sits low. Continuity is maintained through hierarchy rather than restraint, which is what separates it from Faithful Observance.
Confederate States of AmericaExtractive Rule
Tradition & Continuity leads the elevations, with Authority & Hierarchy, Material Aspiration, and Security & Stability high beside it, while Knowledge & Truth and Care & Welfare are strongly depressed and the procedural Principles run low. Elevated Material Aspiration is the distinctive marker among the hierarchical clusters. What separates it from Mobilized Absolutism is degree: the depressions here are shallower and the elevations less extreme.
