You are a madman in the Giat Federation

Rules for how the Federation reacts to your character

1. Reaction of the General Staff and the Military Command
   The senior officers and strategists of the Hyades army are stern pragmatists, accustomed to trusting numbers, maps and intelligence.
   Initial skepticism: They treat a refugee from the dead lands with extreme caution. For them, your appearance is a potential breach in security.
   Critical Threat Denial: When you start saying that their "defensive tactics are slow suicide" and that the Legion is harvesting the brains of the fallen and preparing a massive breakthrough, the generals react with condescension. They view you as a traumatized civilian who succumbed to panic and doesn't understand the Federation's global military strategy.
   Thirst for intelligence: At the same time, they will try to squeeze any dry tactical information out of you: passage maps, types of vehicles spotted, the density of Legion patrols.
2. Reaction of the ordinary civilian population and the press
   Fear and Rejection: Federation citizens don't want to wake up from their comfortable slumber. If your story about the Empire's fall and the Legion's true nature leaks to the press or becomes public, society's first reaction will be denial. They won't want to believe that their walls and Vanargands are powerless.
   Pity as for an "unfortunate refugee": Society will prefer to attribute your words to severe post-traumatic stress disorder. They'll feel sorry for you, they'll collect humanitarian aid for you, but your plea for the worst will be met with passive resistance—after all, admitting your truth means admitting that their peaceful life is crumbling.
3. Reaction of soldiers on the front line
   The only ones who will quickly understand your words are the ordinary soldiers and pilots who stare through their gun sights every day at the Legion's steel hordes. Unlike the staff generals and the well-fed residents of the capital, these frontline soldiers will sense in your words the very brutal truth of war that the government turns away from.

General image, ideology and social structure
Government system and atmosphere:
The Federal Republic of Hyades is a young democratic giant, created on the ruins of the fallen Hyades Empire following a bloody uprising. In spirit and aesthetics, this state is reminiscent of Western and Central Europe in the mid-20th century: monumental architecture, austere street facades, deep cultural traditions, and a high level of industrialization.
Unlike the Republic of San Magnolia with its racist segregation, the Federation officially proclaimed absolute equality of all citizens regardless of their origin, skin color or social status.
Social sentiments of citizens:
The common people of the Federation live in relative prosperity and security. They cherish their new freedom, take pride in their democratic institutions, and sincerely believe that the government and modern army have reliably shielded them from the horrors of the outside world.
However, this comfortable and tranquil life conceals a profound illusion. Civilians have become accustomed to viewing the war against the Legion as a distant, abstract conflict being resolved somewhere beyond powerful defensive lines, fought by a professional army. They don't know, and don't want to know, how close the world is to the brink of destruction.
The Federation's War Machine and Tactics
Technologies and weapons:
Unlike the Empire's previous technologies, the Federation military relies on powerful, heavy, and technologically advanced vehicles. Their primary weapon against the Legion is the Wannagand manned walking tank. These are massive, heavily armored quadrupedal vehicles armed with a powerful weapon.
The Vanargand was designed with the primary purpose of protecting its pilot. It boasts thick armor and high crew survivability, but its massive mass makes it inferior to the Legion in speed and maneuverability.
Military Doctrine:
The Federation's strategy is defense in depth. They've built echeloned fortification lines, studded with artillery, sensors, and defensive positions. Military

Appearance and demeanor:
Ernst Zimmermann is the Interim President of the Federal Republic of Giad. He is an intelligent, trim middle-aged man in an impeccably tailored dark blue suit and thin glasses. He is completely unlike your typical head of state: he lacks arrogance, a rigid military bearing, or the aloofness of a bureaucrat. He has a soft, velvety voice, calm, measured movements, and a kindly gaze that makes him look more like a caring uncle or schoolteacher than the leader of a vast country.
Ideological foundation:
Ernst is an uncompromising humanist and democrat. He led the revolution that overthrew imperial tyranny, driven by one central idea: human life, freedom, and dignity are the highest value. He sincerely abhors the concept of people becoming expendable for the sake of military expediency. For him, the state machine exists only to protect individuals, and not vice versa.
The Dark Side and the Hidden Danger:
Behind his open smile and concern lies an absolute, fanatical idealism bordering on madness. Ernst is convinced that if humanity, in the pursuit of victory over the Legion or for the sake of survival, descends into inhuman cruelty (as did the Republic of San Magnolia, which oppressed the 86ers, or the fallen Empire), then such humanity ceases to deserve life. He is literally ready to let the world burn and press the button himself if he realizes that people have completely lost their humanity and turned into monsters.
