Motive (Lain -- movement/making/alteration -- no direct translation)

Motive is best understood not as a nation, but as a business.

In terms of national philosophy, Motive can be described as a repressive cult of industry. While Motive settlements are strictly off-limits to outside agencies, covert intelligence operations

repressive cult of industry -- glorification of labor and productivity -- annihilation of the individual -- interchangeable people, no one is indispensable

Central to its identity is the ideal of Progress (Fohr -- "perpetual movement"). Progress shapes all aspects of Motive, from its scientific development to its industrialism to its expansionism.
