Gran Colombia · 1813–1830
Simón Bolívar
Liberator of northern South America. Republican, anti-slavery in aim, and drawn to a strong presidency.
Simón Bolívar is on the world-leaders chart for Gran Colombia, 1813–1830. The placement note, from the public governing record, is: Liberator of northern South America. Republican, anti-slavery in aim, and drawn to a strong presidency.
The dot is economics -4 and authority +42, on a scale from −100 to +100. That is near the middle on economics. The other axis sits toward authority. Left means a larger public role. Up means more authority. Neither direction is treated as the correct one.
A second note separates what was said in public from what the government then did. Said: Republics free of Spain, with a strong executive so they would not fly apart. Done: Independence came. Gran Colombia did not hold, and the presidency grew personal. The gap, when there is one, is part of the placement. A promise that was kept and a promise that was dropped are not given the same weight.
The nearest other figures on these two numbers are David Ben-Gurion (Israel, -12 / +30) and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (Turkey, +12 / +48). Nearest means nearest on the chart, not alike in character.
Two governments can share a number and share nothing else. The source is the public governing record, not a news write-up and not a campaign advertisement.
