well, the first graph's x-axis, would represent the traditional (1 axis) L-R spectrum.

The political compass is about the same as the Nolan chart, just with an axis tilt of 45°. Nolan would put fascism and communism in the lower left corner, with fascism a little more to the right maybe. Both axis' would represent the level of government interference in this model, same as in the compass' model. The world's smallest political quiz also uses this model:

I gotta get off work now - already 1.5 hours overtime - so my economical freedom(money) interfers with my personal one (freetime)
