Models

The rules have changed!

Wondering why no new models are being posted here?

We live in a different world now, since a global crisis, called pandemic, began in 2020. Where has democracy gone? Where does autocracy start?

There are no new models, since governments no longer want them.

Please go to Emerging Models.

The pre-crisis models on this website might just illustrate a transition towards something completely new.
