The discussion raises the issue of whether religious traditions determine parallel patterns of political rule. For the post-communist countries, this points to the possibility that different historical traditions of imperial rule may have had influences similar to those of religious traditions. Such simultaneous traditional influences are not easy to separate, logically or empirically.

Czechoslovakia is grouped with Hungary and Slovenia in order to use five-level rankings across all four dimensions. Allowing a sixth level for past economic achievement has no significant effect on the results. Slovakia alone falls into the category of around 60.
