Mike88 (Portugal) is an obvious one.
I would be interested in how many countries are represented here.
Is there anyone from Quebec?

Poirot and KaiserDave do, but I don't know if Quebec is Dave's primary residence. MaxQue as well.

If we include the USA, this is America.

smoltchanov is pretty representative of the subset of young Russians who are politically literate and engaged, at least in my experience. BigSerg (even though I don't think he lives or has ever lived in Russia) is a pretty good representation of the more "casually" political Russian. However, the average Russian is very much politically disengaged, or at the very least, unlikely to give their honest opinion on political matters. So, unless Russian Bushie joins Atlas, we're probably not going to get a good match.

Isn't Smoltchanov anti-Putin though?

MaxQue is from Quebec and on quite a few occasions has been defensive of Quebec nationalism. I remember he once went on a bizarre rant about how Anglophones want to destroy Quebec culture, especially those who supported the Equality Party.

President Johnson represents Germany's neoliberalism of the current day.

KaiserDave is American, however his family originates from Quebec, I believe. Although he has both US and Canadian citizenship.

Bizarre question, as I don’t really imagine the Americans on here genuinely understanding another country’s “views” (also bizarre to believe that one set of views is representative of a group as large as a nation), considering how many of them are totally clueless about their own country. If anything, people’s beliefs about other countries are biased by their interactions with posters from that country, and the logical relationship is reversed.

I think this is a tough question to answer as no country have a monolithic set of opinions. Even totalitarian countries like North Korea and Saudi Arabia that ostensibly have only one acceptable set of opinions is probably less true in reality.

I guess I was thinking more towards median or stereotypes.

If they're not American I don't care about their opinion. No offense non-American posters.

It pains me to say it, but Meclazine feels very representative of a certain kind of Australian.

I'm surprised nobody brought up Tender Bredesen yet. Somehow I feel like he's a typical Austrian, or at least a stereotypical one.

Also, if we include the US, bronz feels like a stereotypical American.

SirWoodbury is a good representation of Russians who are paid by the Kremlin to push their propaganda under fake American identities

Nah, tender is considered unusually sane in Austria
