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
Care, healing, public well-being.
Education, science, learning.
Trade, jobs, making things.
Speech, choice, open roads.
Memory, ritual, continuity.
Land, breath, ecology.
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
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.'"
