Mandate before alignment
Describe what an institution is authorized and incentivized to do before assigning narrative meaning.
Global game-design translation
A safe game-design translation of direction, collection, processing, analysis, dissemination, counterintelligence, and institutional friction across different legal and political settings.
Comparative lens
Every profile uses the same dimensions and records where public evidence is incomplete, contested, dated, or inaccessible. Formal law and practical authority are kept separate.
Describe what an institution is authorized and incentivized to do before assigning narrative meaning.
Show constitutional or statutory chains separately from credibly assessed real influence.
Apply the same sourcing, confidence, contradiction, and correction rules to every jurisdiction.
Include oversight, due process, privacy, labor, minority, diaspora, disability, and civilian impacts.
Date current-status claims and mark unknown, disputed, inaccessible, or rapidly changing information.
States, institutions, officials, communities, and individual characters are not interchangeable.
Country coverage
Listing a country is a commitment to fair future coverage, not a claim that a dedicated profile is complete. Regional baselines guide the next research cycle.

Editorial commitment
Mechanics should express institutional incentives, information limits, law, oversight, coordination, and consequences. They must not encode nationalities as fixed bonuses, penalties, loyalties, competence levels, or moral alignments.
