Where do you belong?

This isn't a quiz about where you'd like to holiday. It reads how you actually move through a week — your pace, your appetite for people, your tolerance for chaos — and finds the country built the same way.

 ·   · 
IA Saturday arrives with nothing owed to anyone. What actually happens?
IIA stranger on a four-hour train starts talking to you.
IIIDinner tonight. Which table are you at?
IVThe view from the window you'd want for the next ten years.
VThe trip is booked. How planned is it?
VIWeather you would genuinely choose to live inside.
VIIHow do you feel about traditions you didn't choose?
VIIIYou're running late, and it isn't your fault.
IXMoney is tight this month. What's the last thing you cut?
XSome countries you can hold in your head. Others you never find the edges of.
XIThe place you belong is, above all, somewhere...
XIIA hard week ends. How do you come back to yourself?
XIIILast one — be honest about your speed.

Thirteen questions. Answer quickly — the reading is only as honest as your first instinct.

PACEUnhurried—RelentlessHow full you like a day. Whether momentum restores you or slowly wears you down, and how much empty time you need left over at the end of it.
COMPANYSolitary—SurroundedWhere your energy comes from. Whether other people are the point of an evening or the cost of one, and how much company you want by default rather than by arrangement.
ORDERImprovised—ExactHow much structure you want holding things up. Whether a timetable that works is a relief or a cage, and how you react when a plan quietly falls apart.
WILDBuilt—OpenWhether the best thing about a place is its streets or what lies past its last town. How close the landscape needs to be before you feel settled.
HEATCold—HotThe climate you would actually choose to live inside rather than visit for a fortnight. Dark winters and weather, or long evenings and heat you have to plan around.
ROOTSNew—InheritedHow much of the past you want still running things. Whether tradition is scaffolding you find reassuring, or someone else's habit you would rather not adopt.
FEASTFrugal—AbundantWhat food, drink and celebration are for. Whether a long table is the purpose of the day or the fuel that gets you through it.
SCALEKnowable—ImmenseThe size of country you want around you. One you can hold in your head and follow end to end, or one whose edges you will never find and whose weather you are only a small part of.

Every answer moves you along these eight axes. Your result is the country sitting closest to where you end up.
