EDIT: Facism is based on Nationalism and therefore it takes different shapes for ever nation that attempts to impliment it.

Every nation has a distinct national identity and set of shared values. As we barely understand Atlas' national identity and set of shared values we have no idea what a Facistic Atlas would look like. I don't understand what you mean by types of fascism? Like you said the foundation is nationalism and the only distinct variations are extreme racism or zealotry.

I would say Atlas is on the road to fascism because one man is head of academy, military, and holds two seats on their council. While it's not fascist for a country to stop a private business from trading with another nation, it would be to take control of that busines for 'state interests'.

The nature of the huntsmen acadamey reflects the nature of the government because the council can control its policies, excluding Shade Academy. Atlas Academy is a very strict military school and they push their graduates who are supposed to be freelancers to join the military. This all looks like Atlas is working to protect the state not so much the safety of the people.
