The evidence behind the widest gaps

A distance figure is worth nothing unless the scores behind it can be checked. These are the artefacts supporting the axes that separate these two most.

AfD · CH 00

Coded at zero: parliamentary in method, with parts of the party under intelligence observation.

  • Documented act or statuteHas contested every federal and state election since 2013 and holds seats in every state parliament.

Saudi Religious Monarchy · CH −07

Coded strongly negative in doctrine, with rapid top-down change in practice since 2017.

  • Documented act or statuteVision 2030 has changed social policy faster than any period in the state's history, by decree rather than by consent.

What this comparison does not establish

Proximity means similarity of stated position. It carries no claim about competence, circumstance, scale of operation, or what either organisation actually did to the people under it. Two organisations can sit close together and produce entirely different histories, because those things are not on any axis and could not be.

Alternative for Germany

2013– · Germany

Founded against euro bailouts, reoriented around immigration, national identity and rejection of climate policy.

Saudi Religious Monarchy

1932– · Saudi Arabia

Dynastic rule legitimated by a strict religious establishment; no parties, no elections, no constitution other than scripture.

Distance is not the whole answer. Two organisations can sit the same distance apart for entirely different reasons, and the reason is the content of any claim about them. Open the comparison in the atlas to weight the axes yourself.
