What changed from 9Axes
9Axes scores nine independent axes, from federal vs unitary to assimilationist vs multiculturalist. 12 Axes keeps those questions and adds three: how much the state should plan the economy, whether trade should be protected or open, and how fast technology should move. It also groups the twelve axes into four areas, so a result reads as a short profile instead of a list.
