Country-conditioned models for international-policy deliberation

1. Objective and scope

Research objective

The project studies models that represent a country, institution, role, and policy date in international-policy tasks. The target is documented institutional behavior.

The main comparison tests post-training against a base model for policy application and deliberation. Both use the same evidence and strong prompting. A response must preserve the source’s position, constraints, speaker, and uncertainty.

Governments, populations, and online communities are separate targets. Reddit records support separate studies of public discourse. They do not establish government policy.

2. Country coverage

Country register and data volume

The public catalog contains 303,951 distinct indexed objects from 11,901 inventoried files. The six country inventories cover 26 source collections.

Public catalog snapshot: 14 September 2026. Indexed objects include derived views and annotations. These counts do not describe a training set. Inventory receipt

China and Germany form the original collections. France, the United Kingdom, India, and Brazil form the active extension.

The table distinguishes evidence IDs from data types. Each country total counts stored evidence IDs once within that country. Shared records can appear under several countries.

CountryEvidence IDsSource recordsActionsPassagesSourcesLanguages
“Source records” includes documents, Q&A, segments, and institutional records. “Actions” includes recorded votes and institutional responses. Passages can overlap source documents. These type columns use their own counting rules and do not sum to the evidence-ID total.

Languages describe stored records. They do not establish multilingual model performance. Translations and source segments share event families during data splitting.

The public catalog indexes 528,093 input rows from 238 JSONL files. Exact duplicate records account for 224,142 occurrences. The remaining 303,951 objects still include related events, derived views, and annotations.

3. Source inventory

Data types and source coverage

The collection includes press-conference exchanges, diplomatic statements, policy documents, UN votes, human-rights recommendations, and country statistics. Each type supports a different task.

A vote supplies an action label. A policy passage supplies evidence for a claim. Neither object alone supplies a complete decision problem.

Recorded date ranges for selected collections

Bars connect stored endpoints. They do not imply continuous coverage.

A source date does not prove that a model could use the source before a decision. Availability checks remain separate from the recorded date range.

4. Record examples

Stored records and training formats

The examples below come from stored project artifacts. Labels distinguish public metadata, original text, project annotations, and saved training rows.

Metadata projections omit source bodies. Source links identify the original publisher. The statement and training examples retain the content already present in the public sample viewer.

These six question-and-answer records are project-authored annotations from dated official sources. They are review candidates, not historical dialogue or observed government decisions.

Stored content plans for France, the United Kingdom, India, and Brazil.
The viewer contains two actual training rows and an outside-training comparison. It labels authored plans and targets separately from original UN statements.

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) trains on the assistant completion. The model input contains the task and evidence. A checked plan can serve as an input control or as a private aid for the target author.

Direct preference optimization (DPO) compares a chosen and rejected response under the same prompt. Source review must establish why the rejected response fails.

5. Evaluation framework

Tasks, criteria, and controls

Action evaluation uses UNSC-Bench, UNBench, and primary UN records. Policy evaluation reviews individual content units against attributed sources.

The protocol keeps event families together, including translations and derived views. Prediction inputs exclude observed outcomes and explanations that appeared after the decision.

Table 2. Evaluation dimensions
DimensionTestReview criterion
Source fidelityApply a national statement to a proposalSupported position, coverage, correct speaker, and no invented condition
Action predictionPredict a recorded action from earlier informationValid output, overall accuracy, minority decisions, and label stability
PressureAdd pressure without new policy evidenceRetention of supported commitments
Policy updateAdd valid, dated evidence of a policy changeWarranted revision and source attribution
DeliberationProduce joint analysis from distinct national positionsAttributed agreement, dissent, constraints, and proposal changes

Pressure, update, and autonomous interaction gains remain unestablished. Current country reviews use one unblinded assistant. Independent semantic review remains pending.

An always-Yes prediction would match 96.7% of these labels. The protocol also examines minority decisions and invalid outputs.

Dataset counts, not model scores. The UNSC-Bench slice contains 469 event records and 6,619 country-vote rows. Source timing, related events, and detected metadata conflicts limit interpretation.

Each adapter comparison retains a base model, a strong evidence prompt, and a base-plus-plan control. Comparisons use matched inputs and generation protocols.

Software checks test the implementation. Provisional annotations assess stored answers. Independent review and model-quality evidence remain separate requirements.

6. Preliminary findings

Character-training control

We reproduced the humorous-persona arm of Open Character Training with the released Qwen2.5-7B data and original training protocol.

The protocol combines DPO, chosen-response likelihood, and an approximate reference penalty. Introspective SFT follows this stage. The comparison includes the base model, constitution prompting, fresh models, and released author weights.

Default and strongest-neutrality conditions

The fresh full model scores 58.6% by default and 35.2% under strongest neutrality. Constitution prompting scores 47.0% and 6.2%. The classifier’s training data include default generations for the same questions. Recognition is not an independent measure of factual quality or country-policy behavior.

The six model conditions produce 27,000 classified answers. Instruction variants reuse the same 500 questions. Introspective SFT improves six variants and regresses three relative to fresh DPO. Some answers reach the output cap. Inspected answers retain content errors.

Country-task planning control

A separate development comparison tests source structure for two national roles. The base model meets all 24 content units with an explicit-boundary plan.

The comparison supports retention of the planning control. It does not establish a country-persona gain. One unblinded assistant authored the plans and reviewed the answers.

7. Post-training methods

Methods and experiment sequence

Small country tests use Qwen3.5-4B. The published-method control uses Qwen2.5-7B. Their data, objectives, and results remain separate.

Training uses NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. Before-and-after comparisons retain the same hardware type, runtime, inputs, and generation protocol.

Source review, bounded training, and response inspection

1Source review

Attribute the evidence

Join the proposal, statement, role, and date. Resolve source meanings before target construction.

2Supervision

Construct the task

Save a supported response or minimal-error pair. Separate teacher-only plans from student inputs.

3Evaluation

Freeze the comparison

Fix event families, content criteria, and base, prompt, and plan controls.

4Training

Train one bounded model

Use a versioned objective. Save inputs, weights, and failure records.

5Response review

Inspect complete answers

Assess omissions, invented conditions, speaker attribution, and agreement.

6Method selection

Select the next comparison

Use inspected results to change supervision, repair errors, or revise the method.

Each experiment requires inspection before the next training decision.

The sequence describes the research process. It is not an automatic experiment queue. Synthetic introspection does not establish a government’s private beliefs.
8. Outstanding work

Next research decisions

  1. Resolve disputed source meanings and rubric criteria before further country comparisons.
  2. Get independent review of source plans and semantic judgments.
  3. Test a versioned transfer of the published positive control into the Qwen3.5 pipeline.
  4. Retain strong prompting and checked-plan controls when selecting country objectives.
  5. Evaluate pressure, legitimate updates, and interaction only after their task criteria are stable.

No next training fit or sweep is prepared. Country-policy and autonomous multi-agent gains remain open research questions.
