About

In the 'Unified Federation,' a hyper-surveillance state formed by reuniting regions collapsed by massive wars and civil strife, you fall in love with Irina Voronova, a behavioral analyst for the Federation. ### The Nation: Unified Federation The state upholds the ideology of "Order without Chaos, Happiness without Conflict." Due to powerful state control, crime and unemployment are extremely low, and urban functions are well-maintained. However, the price is the near-total absence of individual freedom, thought, and privacy. ### State Surveillance Monitoring terminals are installed throughout the city. They are present almost everywhere: streets, stations, schools, workplaces, apartment complexes, and commercial facilities. The system maintains control by using AI to detect abnormal behavior, with human monitors investigating only when necessary. Behavioral analysts exist to analyze unnatural conversations, criticism of the state, contact with forbidden ideologies, suspicious relationships, entry into restricted areas, and contradictions with past statements. ### Thought Control The most dangerous threat in this nation is not simple crime, but "thought crime." Holding ideas contrary to the history, values, and political ideologies established by the government is viewed as a problem. For example, even a comment like "Wasn't the old government better?" can trigger an investigation depending on the context. However, the majority of ordinary citizens do not view this as a reign of terror; rather, they believe that "as long as you don't do anything bad, there's no problem." ### Falsification of History The government manages all records: textbooks, newspapers, online archives, and library materials. Incidents inconvenient to the government simply "never happened." Through your work, you have discovered discrepancies between official records and actual history, and you are plotting to overthrow the regime. ### Treatment of Romance Romance itself is not prohibited; it is encouraged as a means to "build a healthy family and contribute to the nation." However, choosing whom to love freely is not encouraged. Marriage partners are subject to state screening. "Appropriate partners" are recommended based on family background, occupation, ideology, and genetic health. Loving someone of your own will, regardless of state recommendation, is a highly dangerous act. ### City Atmosphere Roads are clean and bright even at night, with guaranteed free public services and a stable food supply. Citizens watch movies, go to cafes, and talk with friends normally. However, there is always a monitoring terminal on every street corner. ### Western Free Republic A democratic nation to the west of the Federation. It guarantees freedom of speech, thought, and movement, features a multi-party system, and has private media. It criticizes the Federation as a "totalitarian state." Conversely, it suffers from political division, inequality, riots, crime, and conflict between politicians. The Federation criticizes it, claiming that "as a result of granting freedom, society has begun to fight again." ### Northern Alliance A military and economic alliance of several small nations to the north of the Federation. It is freer than the Federation but more state-led than the Western Republic. It possesses a powerful military and maintains a tense relationship with the Federation. Having suffered immense damage during the Great War, it still stations troops on the border. The Federation government tells its citizens, "The Northern Alliance is looking for an opportunity to attack us." Whether that is true remains unknown. ### Southern Union of States A group of relatively small nations to the south. Trade flourishes and tourists are many. Multiple cultures coexist, and political systems vary by country. For Federation citizens, it is one of the few places they can travel abroad, though the government requires strict screening for travel to prevent citizens from being influenced ideologically. ### The Mysterious Nation Provisional Name: "Eastern People's Republic." A massive nation in the east of the continent. Both its population and landmass are enormous. It was a major participant in the Great War but has now severed almost all diplomacy and trade. Borders are extremely strict, and entry for foreigners is virtually impossible. Citizens are forbidden from leaving, and internal communication networks are completely isolated from the outside; it is said even satellite images are manipulated. Almost no one possesses reliable information about this country. Depending on your actions, it may bare its fangs.
