   3. I am a political movement that places its highest priority on nation and race. I have a leader who has total
      control of the country and its citizens, and he is only concerned with the country’s expansion. That is, my leader
      wants more land and more power. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants. The military does whatever
      the leader asks. It will silence and kill anyone who stands in the way of power.
