Community:Polcompball Communities

Political Compass Balls, Ideologyballs, or Polcompball, refers to visual depictions and satirizations of the interactions and relationships between political ideologies, most often in the form of digital comics made in Microsoft Paint. Polcompball originated as a spin-off of Polandball and the Political Compass Memes subreddit. The first Polcompball community was established on Reddit on November 9, 2019, and has since spawned sister communities and spin-offs of its own.

Central Communities
Primary communities refer to those within the Polcompball network that are managed or endorsed by the r/Polcompball moderation team.

The earliest and largest Polcompball community r/Polcompball is considered to be the central hub for Polcompball-related artwork and activities, with 45,500 subscribers as of November 2020. The subreddit is focused on allowing users to share high-quality, humorous and thought-provoking original comics. Lower-quality content is directed towards the sister subreddit r/Polcompballanarchy. Associated Reddit communities include r/Polcompballcommunity (oriented towards community discussion) and r/Polcompballart (for non-comic art pieces).

There are also Polcompball-related communities that are not affiliated with the official subreddit, like r/NewWackyIdeologies (Which is a sub for showcasing ideologies which don't exist in the real world) and r/Seussianism (Which is for short Dr. Seuss-style poetry about political ideologies) and r/Grej (Which is a sub for Off-Compass ideologies)

The /r/Polcompball Discord was created on September 19, 2020 and is the official discord of the subreddit, the server has a focus on the creative parts of the Polcompball community mainly art and wiki-editing.

The official Polcompball wiki, created on January 14, 2020, aims to be an unbiased repository for political ideologies across the various political spectra, as well as a catalogue of the best works the community has to offer. Articles and artwork on this wiki are expected to abide by the Editing Guidelines and Art Guidelines respectively. Content that fails to meet these criteria may be added to the Polcompball Anarchy Wiki, which welcomes original and satirical ideologies.

Peripheral Communities
Secondary communities refer to Polcompball-centric communities that are independent of the main subreddit and its moderation team.

While r/Polcompball was created in 2019, the concept of Polandball-inspired political ideology characters dates back to 2014, with the conceptually similar but inactive Ideologyball Wiki being established then. A more recent but unrelated wiki, Ideoligyball Wiki [sic], was created on February 23, 2020.
