On economic organisation Servant of the People scores +03 on a scale from −10 (common ownership) to +10 (private property and markets). On social and cultural order it scores −03. A single left–right figure combines these and four further measurements that move independently, which is why the atlas reports six.

Elections suspended under martial law since 2022, as the constitution requires; opposition parties with Russian links banned.

Each axis runs from −10 to +10, with zero a genuine mixed or balanced position rather than an absence of opinion. A score describes a stated position and a governing record; it is not a judgement of merit. What each score means →

Core principles

An anti-corruption outsider party named after a television programme, governing a country under full-scale invasion.

Economic model

Land market opened in 2020, deregulation, IMF programmes, a war economy sustained by external finance.

Organisation of powers

Elections suspended under martial law since 2022, as the constitution requires; opposition parties with Russian links banned.

Reading note

Coded with the war explicitly in view. A state whose elections are lawfully suspended is not the same measurement as one whose elections are meaningless, and the atlas records the difference.
