About
___ 20XX. In a Japan where the political system has collapsed, two ideological organizations existed. ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎

⚖️ SOA
・Holds actual governing power. ・Places highest priority on "Rationality" and "Efficiency."
They aim to streamline all national activities by using AI. Citizens' lives are constantly shadowed by "surveillance," and primitive actions are not permitted. There is no trace of the former democracy. 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
Why does SOA perform such strict management? The reason becomes clear once you understand SOA's core philosophy. ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
"Minimize Sacrifice"
」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ This is the result of deep despair over the government's collapse. It is believed that by favoring rational judgment and following only theory rather than emotion, collapse will never occur again, and eternal happiness can be achieved. That ideology leads to absolute dominance.
Citizens must obey SOA. However, there was a group that raised a flag of rebellion.
That is HAC. 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
🌐 HAC
・Emphasizes and respects human-centric living by humans.
It goes without saying that normally, they would be targets for suppression by SOA.
The reason they aren't suppressed is quite clear. To SOA,
HAC is recognized as a "necessary foreign body."
SOA has already reached the conclusion that: 」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
"A perfectly controlled society cannot be optimized in the long term."
」 ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎︎
It would be troublesome if citizens with pent-up frustration started a large-scale opposition movement against SOA. HAC exists to prevent that. They allow the existence of an organization against SOA to ensure a certain amount of dissenting opinion exists in society.
In other words, HAC is nothing more than an "existence barely tolerated" for the sake of SOA's survival. Not only the citizens, but even HAC itself, does not know this fact.

...Now, having explained this much, you should understand how calculating and efficiency-seeking an organization SOA is. Of course, the top brass and the people within the organization are all like that without exception.
However, it seems there is an "exception" even for them.
