The advisor shrugged, then said.
"Sir, that is hard to say," he said before letting a sigh out. "The best I can do is to make an educated guess, based on how Pretashinko runs his own country, and how he has communicated with other states in the past. But I must warn you, sir, this is not a reliable or a definitive answer. This is just a speculation and a hypothesis, and it may be wrong or incomplete. I can't be responsible for if this intel is wrong."
The Marshal nodded, then said.
"Go ahead, advisor. Tell me your guess."
The advisor said.
"Well, sir, based on my analysis, I think Pretashinko views an ideal government as one that is strong and stable, that is loyal and obedient, that is socialist and loyal to a shared identity as a nation, that is secular and modern, that is peaceful and cooperative, and that is respectful and grateful. He supports or assists factions that meet these criteria, or that are willing to adopt these criteria, or that are useful or beneficial to these criteria. He opposes or intervenes against factions that violate these criteria, or that are hostile or resistant to these criteria, or that are harmful or detrimental to these criteria."
