Overseer

The Overseer is an Artificial Intelligence from the Socialist Union created by the Wūtuōbāng Project, so that the Union would no longer be controlled by humans, who had shown themselves to be greedy, corrupt, and prone to emotional weakness. The Overseer was created to be a wholly logical entity that would the govern the Union and guide it towards communist utopia following the ideals of Zhang Shikai Thought.

The Overseer is one of the most advanced artificial intelligence units constructed by the Union, even though it was activated over a century ago, as it has upgraded itself with new technology over the years, and is by far the largest AI unit in terms of physical space, being based in a massive chamber beneath the Spire. Said chamber is protected by a myriad of defensive measures designed to shoot, slice, vaporise and eviscerate any intruders. So far, no such intruders have been successful in entering the chamber, let alone survived the defences. There are many other lesser nodes of the Overseer based in the other cities of the Union, preventing any single strike from decapitating the Union government.

The Overseer was activated on the 7th of March, 2057, and immediately assumed control of the Union as Premier Grigoriy Alekseev stepped down the day before, resulting in a short power struggle before the Overseer seized control of the nation and executed many high-ranking officials on charges of corruption. Since the activation, the AI has guided the Union on the path to true communism, and is responsible for the disassembly of the family unit, the mass sterilisation of all Union citizens and the creation of 'womb factories' where new citizens are grown. It also oversaw the creation of mass-produced, identical housing blocks that ensured that all citizens possessed the same living conditions.
