Ideological proximity
Most compatible among the 271 ideologies
The East Asian Tiger model (Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong): champions free markets, foreign trade and private enterprise as engines of growth, paired with an active technocratic state that plans infrastructure, education and strategic industrialization, stopping short of closed protectionism or hard authoritarian control.
Geopolitical doctrine of the alliance between the US, Canada and Europe around NATO and the EU, which backs the alliance's eastward expansion and the use of Western military power to spread liberal democracy and free markets against Russia and China.
Conservatism that protects institutions, family and order without doctrinal rigidity: it allows gradual reform and concessions in order to conserve the essential, in the line of Burke and Disraeli, rather than restoring an idealized past.
