NW-You would feel most at home in the Northwest region. You advocate a large degree of economic and personal freedom. Your neighbors include folks like Ayn Rand, Jesse Ventura, Milton Friedman, and Drew Carey, and may refer to themselves as "classical liberals," "libertarians," "market liberals," "old whigs," "objectivists," "propertarians," "agorists," or "anarcho-capitalist."

I am neighbour to Michael Badnarik and Ayn Rand in the extreme NW.

Centerville-You would feel most at home in Centerville, which means that you are more or less pleased the status quo-you think the US government has just about the right amount of control over your economic and personal decisions. Your neighbors include democratic and republican party leaders and others who call themselves "moderates" and "centrists."
 
Centrist, a little SW of center.
 
I'm a Southern Egalitarian, between FDR and Jesse Jackson...
 
I'm a Northern Free-Marketeer. My closest neighbors are Drew Carey and George Bush. Anybody want to buy a house cheap?
 
NW-You would feel most at home in the Northwest region. You advocate a large degree of economic and personal freedom.

Southern Egalitarian. Situated slightly southeast of Jesse Jackson and slightly southwest of FDR.
 
Hmm, I got SW (figures) right next to Jesse Jackson. Oddly, it puts me as being a little more south than west, which makes no sense to me.

edit:

You know this thing's messed up when it puts bush to the left (in relation to personal freedom) of Kerry...

I live in Centerville, equidistant from George W. Bush and Jesse Jackson, and a close neighbor of John Kerry. Sounds about right to me.
