Disclaimer
This mod does not contain any Feldreẞ or any unique models, '86:Eighty Six - The world of Asato' consists only of carefully handcrafted retextures meant to resemble the uniforms and nations of the world encapsulated in Asato Asato's '86' in a functional state.
This is not an official mod either, it is only what can be interpreted as a love letter to the Beautiful world of 86.
(this mod does not contain any vehicles or weapons, those seen in screenshots are purely for scenebuilding and are from official Arma 3 DLC's)

"86: Eighty-Six" explores themes of discrimination, the dehumanizing effects of war, and the struggle for identity and justice. Through its gripping narrative and complex characters, the series delves into the harrowing realities faced by those forced to fight and the psychological toll of conflict. In this world written by Asato Asato, Readers & Viewers follow our group of main characters throughout their conflict against a robotic horde called the Legion. This adventure (or rather a tale of survival) brings these characters to many well written nations. Said nations are what I'm trying to encapsulate in within my ability to retexture in Arma 3.


]The Republic of San Magnolia

The Republic of San Magnolia is a central setting in "86: Eighty-Six," a dystopian nation engaged in a long-standing war with the Giadian Empire. The Republic prides itself on its democratic values and claims to have developed autonomous drones to counter the Empire's robotic Legion, asserting that this technological advancement has eliminated human casualties. However, this is a facade.

In reality, the Republic's drones are piloted by humans from the 86th District, a segregated area where the inhabitants are stripped of their citizenship and forced to fight. These people, known as the 86, are considered sub-human and expendable by the Republic's predominantly Alba (white-haired) citizens. The Alba live in relative safety and comfort, unaware or indifferent to the true nature of the war.

The Republic's government perpetuates a cycle of discrimination and propaganda, maintaining the illusion of a just and humane society while exploiting and sacrificing the 86. This hypocritical and oppressive regime sets the stage for the series' exploration of themes such as racial discrimination, the dehumanizing effects of war, and the quest for truth and justice.

As discovered by either Reading or watching the show, the reader/viewer may come across the fact that the Republics Ground forces were all but annihilated in the first few weeks of the war against the legion. Although this is an interesting tale that I'd suggest you read the books to explore, I have decided to try my best to recreate what a potential combat uniform would look like.

]The Federal Republic of Giad

The Federal Republic of Giad is a significant entity in the "86: Eighty-Six" series by Asato Asato. Originally the Giadian Empire, it was known for its advanced military technology and the creation of the autonomous Legion drones, which were initially designed to fight wars without human casualties. However, a catastrophic event led to the Legion turning against their creators, plunging the Empire into chaos and leading to its downfall.

After the collapse of the Empire, the remnants of its population and military reformed into the Federal Republic of Giad. This new government is democratic and seeks to distance itself from the imperial past and the horrors unleashed by the Legion. The Republic is characterized by its efforts to rebuild and protect its citizens from the relentless Legion threat, as well as its attempts to foster alliances and improve relations with neighboring nations.

Unlike the Republic of San Magnolia, the Federal Republic of Giad does not practice institutionalized discrimination and aims to treat all its citizens equally. The Federal Republic of Giad represents a glimmer of hope and the possibility of a more just and equitable society in the war-torn world of "86: Eighty-Six."

]The United Kingdom of Roa Gracia

First seen in the 2nd season of the anime and elaborated upon further in the later light novels, the United Kingdom's land mainly consists of mountain ranges. Unlike the real life United kingdom, this one is still a despotic monarchy.
(I took artistic liberty for the normal uniforms since there wasn't really any reference material)

]The Empire of Giad

known for being the predecessor state to the federacy and the creators of the legion, the Empire of Giad was also known for being a warmongering nation with for some reason a child for its empress.

]The Alliance of Wald

The alliance of wald was also first seen & mentioned in the 2nd season of 86:Eighty Six but was not expanded upon until the later light novels.

]The Holy Theocracy

The Holy Theocracy is a balls to the wall intermediate-tech (like an open top vehicle in 86??? hello??) nation that for the most part does not appear until the very late novels of 86:Eighty six.

Vehicle Retextures
Functional Factions (they do currently exist in some capacity but it was really just meant for practicality while I was testing the mod)
More variety in Uniforms (including medical uniforms).
