YOU GET WHAT YOU TRUST

by Justin Allred

Monarchy – Tyranny

Aristocracy – Oligarchy

Polity – Democracy

x-axis: high trust<->low trust

y-axis: distributed political agency <->concentrated political agency

The government you end up with is determined by what point on this scale your polity equilibriates.
