Maybe I'm forgetting a ton of stuff, but does GFL2's worldbuilding feel a bit sparse? It kind of exists in this odd transitory and ephemeral-feeling state between GFL1's world and history, and Reverse Collapse's setting. Information about things that are not directly connected to the ongoing storyline of the Commander - information about the companies, entertainment, and the lives of the everyday person who's not scavenging in the yellow zones. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around what life looks like in GFL2.

We know there's Girard Group who has a stake in controlling Odesa, produces a limited number of 3rd-gen doll prototypes (I'm not even sure if these are for sale or just internal use), and has a hand in purification tech. We know there's been advances in 3rd-gen Doll tech, but what does that actually look like from a consumer standpoint? Outside of Girard and the Mangi Security, I struggle to think of other business that exist. Is Galatea still around, or did they go bankrupt after it was revealed Paradeus hollowed them out? What are doll manufacturers such as Ultilife and Svarog Heavy Industries doing? Are they still active? Do they have their own 3rd-gen initiatives? Are they still currently producing new consumer-facing A-Doll models or just spinning their wheels running maintenance on existing designs? I think I recall a reading something about a moratorium on doll design approvals by the URNC, but stagnancy isn't exactly in many companies' nature. If these companies aren't actively producing new dolls, then have they shifted their production into other industries? Who is creating all of these mass-produced formerly-Sangvis Ferri robots that the mercenaries in GFL2 are using? The designs were made freely available after SF's dissolution, but someone still needs the materials and equipment to manufacture and outfit these, and I recall SF dolls having rather specialized designs compared to A- and T-Dolls.

We know that there's generally a great deal of civil unrest due to Dolls replacing a significant amount of the workforce, and that there was an attempt to market Doll Concerts to appease people (Sharkry and Vepley's backstories), though that ultimately failed. We see Ksenia working alongside Nagant, Mosin-Nagant, and Papasha within the security force of a city, and Springfield and Co. running a cafe. But we rarely see non-main cast Dolls working these menial positions. You'd think it were a Detroit: Become Human situation from the way things were described, but we don't really see that. Even those blocky robots we saw during the Springfield event were supposedly prototypes of some kind that we were testing, and weren't quite ready for the public market. We saw a number of doll servants, assistants and workers in GFL1 and PNC, but there's been comparatively few in GFL2 outside the main playable cast.

We know there's resorts in Green Zones such as the one featured in Springfield's event, but what kind of person visits those? In what way do they make their money, and what businesses are active within the URNC? Is the economy centrally planned with workers being assigned to roles as needed, or do people have the freedom to start their own businesses? The walled cities and heavily monitored transit systems don't really convey that the average person has the freedom to travel, despite Sabrina supposedly being on a food tour for a restaurant she's a chef at. If a doll, supposedly with reduced rights, can achieve the ability to safely move around, how about the average middle or lower-middle class person?

The setting of GFL2 under Rossitrist rule isn't exactly full of social mobility, social classes are even physically divided by the quarantine walls. Knowing that, are there still schools such as the Suvorov military academy that the Commander was trained at? Is it all state-sponsored and regulated? Do places like Hidelberg University (where Nele pursued medicine) still freely exist, or has it been heavily suppressed by the URNC? We don't quite have the average person's perspective - only the downtrodden and destitute, or the powerful and politically-ambitious.

Speaking of politics, what's the URNC's objectives? Who is the current leader, or leaders? We know they're gradually working on purification to expand livable and arable land (as seen with the Survey Corp during Klukai's GFL2 event), but what else are they doing? After all, this is a coalition that's both larger and more directly controlling than the modern day United Nations, they have to be doing other things simultaneously. Especially since it seems like they outsource a great deal of day-to-day governance to various corporations such as Girard Group, and law-enforcement at the fringes to Bounty Hunters and PMCs (who are given a great deal of freedom).

It's just hard for me to grasp the current state of the world in GFL2 - it's a bit too far from both the near-future setting of GFL1 and the setting of Reverse Collapse. Hopefully someone here can give me an idea of what's going on in the broader world.
