As stated in the Strawman Political article, in the real world, everyone is the hero of their own story, and this extends to their beliefs, especially political. This can influence authors' work to lean in one way or the other. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })In Anglophone politics the x-axis of the political 'compass' concerns whether a society's total wealth should be distributed by markets, employment, and competition (furthest 'right') or equally divided among everyone (furthest 'left') or somewhere inbetween. Hypothetically, the formermost society would be the product of an invidiously individualistic value system, and the second the product of absolute altruism. This article concerns the y-axis, which places societies between the extremes of being totally governed by government (furthest 'top', 'authoritarianism') or by something(s) else (furthest 'bottom', 'libertarianism'). At the latter end of the spectrum one finds rule by corporation(s), or by collectives, or communes, or computer programs, or even nothing but individual people - or some combination of those things. The 'libertarian' end of the Sliding Scale of Libertarianism and Authoritarianism contains its own Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism, with rule-by-corporation firmly at the cynical end and rule-by-individuals at the other: if every government agreed to legislate itself out of existence we could have corporate rule within hours (however ineffective initially), but even the most fervent anarcho-capitalists admit that our culture would have to change a lot for rule-by-individuals to work in practice even after a long transition period.

The Across Realtime series by Vernor Vinge features ungoverned civilizations. Most of the public pays for protection from a private company, and promises to obey something resembling laws as part of that agreement. But many of those companies are really more like crime insurance. And the people who don't sign with any protection agency are respected. Heavy self-defense weaponry is common, though boasting about weapons of mass destruction can get you lynched. Vinge has stated he believes in this sort of society, but that to work it needs most of the public to be actively thinking about their long-term interests. | |

Carried to its logical conclusion in an early episode of The Simpsons, when Springfield takes a self-help guru's message too far. Everyone only does what they want and waives any kind of responsibility. Hilarity Ensues. | |

Ron Swanson of Parks and Recreation is a self-described Libertarian. In his own words, "My idea of a perfect government is one guy who sits in a small room at a desk, and the only thing he’s allowed to decide is who to nuke. The man is chosen based on some kind of IQ test, and maybe also a physical tournament, like a decathlon. And women are brought to him, maybe... when he desires them." | |

The Ministry of Magic from Harry Potter is initially well-meaning, but largely incompetent and extremely paranoid about the secrecy of magic, thus setting up a byzantine mess of rules and show trials and generally being a pain in the toosh for the protagonists. By the seventh book, however, it's nothing more than a front organization for the (extremely authoritarian) Death Eaters. | |

Ankh-Morpork from the Discworld books is run by Manipulative Bastard extraordinaire Havelock Vetinari, a dictator who prefers to arrange matters so he hardly ever has to exercise his absolute authority. The Patrician of Ankh-Morpork is theoretically an absolute dictator who rules for life- but that's not necessarily a long time, as any Patrician whose actions are Bad For Business eventually discovers. |

Rapture in BioShock began as this, but unfortunately was run by a hypocrite Control Freak and quickly began dropping down the levels when the leader felt his control over "his" city was threatened. By the time of BioShock 2, Rapture's in the "most authoritarian" category because its newest dictator holds the exact opposite political philosophy to its founder, and is also a Control Freak. | |

Traveller is an odd-ball compared to the other examples here. Despite its massive battleships and its lavish aristocracy the Imperium actually has a libertarian ideology and style of government, necessitated by the vast space it rules over. However the Imperial government will not take nonsense and can play pretty rough when it wants to. Local worlds vary in their "control rating" as do states outside the Imperium. Commerce is regulated but not particularly restricted and the Imperial law deals mostly with crimes regarding interstellar commerce (piracy, etc), crimes in specifically Imperial territory (normal crimes in a Starport), and crimes specifically against the Imperium (treason, murder of a Noble or his retainers while in Imperial service, etc), and so on. The Imperial government however interferes little in local customs unless it feels them outrageously abominable and even allows minor local wars to be fought as long as they don't make too much of a mess. It would probably be classed as libertarian normally but authoritarian at given times and places. | |

The planet Anarres in The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin is a libertarian socialist society where a state, government, prisons, and even money don't exist. People do jobs simply because they want to help keep things running and the only punishment that exists is social stigma. However by the time of the novel it has become increasingly authoritarian which is what motivates the protagonist to leave. (And yet, it turns out, way less authoritarian than any of the surrounding cultures, which eventually brings him back.) | |

The Imperium of Man from Warhammer 40,000. However, the Imperium is, by necessity, hugely decentralized, on account of the huge number of worlds. Because of this, the Empire allows individual worlds a great amount of latitude in governance (each planet has a planetary governor, but the way each planet selects it's governor runs the gamut from free, open elections to Trial by Combat). The Imperium does, however, always enforce tithes (basically planetary taxes to the central government, including a quota of psychic humans) and religion, mainly in the persecution of heretics and psykers. The entire philosophy of the Tau Empire is "for the greater good." This involves concentration camps and things for all who disagree on what the "greater good" may be. Ironically, in the setting they are one of the most progressive races. |

A∴A∴, the secret society beyond all secret societies in the Illuminatus!-trilogy believes in absolute freedom of thought and action. They very subtly influence the society in order to maximize individual freedoms, but they're crippled by their primary dogma that forbids them any direct interference with the normal society. Though their leader is old and wise enough to know that in the long term almost everything will work out, even if it means waiting for the civilization to collapse and rise again. | |

In the Great Ship universe, there is very little restriction on what passengers of the Great Ship may do. So long as one pays their taxes and doesn't interfere with the other passengers or the activities of the Ship, they may do almost anything. Anything that somehow violates the few laws is punished by centuries (a minor inconvenience) in the brig or by catapulting the offenders off the ship via a railgun towards the nearest inhabited planet. | |

The Culture of Iain Banks' novels is an interstellar post-scarcity anarchist society in which there is no government and no formal laws. Fashions, fads, customs and etiquette are the closest thing it has to them, and they play a big role in its citizens' lives (often simply to alleviate boredom). As Banks described in a newsgroup post: | |

The Earth Alliance in Babylon 5. At first glance it is a respectable republic but there is many a Government Conspiracy. It slid up the authoritarian scale after the assassination of President Santiago and inauguration of his Vice-President Morgan Clark, becoming hardcore authoritarian and Orwellian by late season three and season four. | |

Starship Troopers: The Terrain Federation only allows military (and other risky forms of civil service) veterans to vote. However, unlike every real country that has service as a requirement for citizenship (i.e. Switzerland, Israel) it is not mandatory and they never institute a draft (Heinlein felt conscription was despicable). Rico's nonvoting civilian parents were quite wealthy. | |
