@nova: I'll provide you when I have enough time for it, although most of the MDS ones could be used, I believe, barring SRI (and maybe others, but I don't have access to a computer now).
As for the ideologies, I humbly propose using the MDS ones. Alternatively,
NS - Neo-fascist
FA - Autocracy (à la Gaddafi)
PA - Reactionary (current EFD countries, most nationalist parties)
SC - Conservative (International Democrat Union, ECR, EPP and generally all Christian-Democratic countries, Republicans)
ML - Liberal (ALDE, Liberal International, US Libertarians)
SL - Social Liberal / Progressive (US Democrats, Greens, EDP, progressives)
SD - Social Democrat (PES, Socialist International)
LWR - Socialist
LE - Marxist-Leninist
ST - Stalinist
This one is best by now, altough I'd keep out Fascist and Stalinist for sake of global usage. NS must be suitable for use in various cases, be it Neo-Fascists, Ultranationalists or religious fundamentalists. So maybe National Populist would be the only good option that would get all that under one umbrella? Keep in mind that Iran will be playing important role in this scenario for example, so various hardline factions on Left and Right will be more diverse and will need good general coverage. Thus, National Populism (altough borrowed from KR) would be great coverage for all radical Right-Wing movements with powerful agenda that is stronger than simple desire for conservation of old values and preservation of power. So I'd gladly take your system, just with few comments of mine:
NS - Neo-fascist - change to National Populist for broader coverage?
FA - Autocracy (à la Gaddafi) - okay for all paternal dictatorships (altough considering Libya, Syria, Iraq and others will be LWR due to need of stronger Arab socialist agenda due to pro-Soviet orientation), maybe I'd suggest small modification into Paternal Autocrat for grammatical reasons to suit general system
PA - Reactionary (current EFD countries, most nationalist parties) - national conservatives, limited/nominal democracies, soft authoritarians...
SC - Conservative (International Democrat Union, ECR, EPP and generally all Christian-Democratic countries, Republicans) - okay
ML - Liberal (ALDE, Liberal International, US Libertarians) - good
SL - Social Liberal / Progressive (US Democrats, Greens, EDP, progressives) -Progressive sounds good
SD - Social Democrat (PES, Socialist International)
LWR - Socialist - nominal Marxists that abandoned key elements like full central planning (Yugoslavia, reformist PRC), non-Marxist (Arab socialist, Burmese socialist) or Marxist-influenced (Salvation Thelogy, Left-Wing populism and nationalism)
LE - Marxist-Leninist - regular ideologically orthodox regimes that follow classic Soviet doctrine, most of Warsaw Pact, Indochina
ST - Stalinist[/QUOTE] - maybe Neo-Stalinist like Brezhnev-styled hardliners? Ideological orthodoxy is reinforced by Stalinist elements like nationalism, strong personality cult etc. (North Korea fits here). It's not necessary meant in critical way, it would be simply a term that describes subscribing to stream of Soviet hardliners
Here's a short summary then:
NS - National Populist
FA - Paternal Autocrat
PA - Reactionary
SC - Conservative
ML - Liberal
SL - Progressive
SD - Social Democrat
LWR - Socialist
LE - Marxist-Leninist
ST - Neo-Stalinist
@ Novapaddy: Using modified MDS teams is great idea!
but not "communist" necessarily (despite dem sliders). It's about accuracy, immersion, and fun and for me it kinda breaks the flow/fun of the game when I'm playing vanill and avowedly anti-communist president of Brazil Vargas is suddenly "Leninist" it just makes me do a huge question mark. Same goes when you get "Fascist" Poland....
