Community:Values

Values refer to the political characteristics featured in the 8Values political test and its derivatives. Values describe a generic characteristic, and are not complete ideologies on their own. Under the hereditary model of ideological formation in the PolCompBall universe, they are regarded as distant ancestors of most modern ideologies. In comics, they feature as generic characters representing single beliefs.
