Description

When Arthur J. Temples attempts to maintain authority over a Britain rife with poverty and corruption and a London devoid of democracy and diplomacy. The Prime Minister has to keep a tight grip on his position and fend off any threat to his tenure. With the assistance of his life long friend and soul mate who he attended university with, Charles B. Woodbead. He appointed Charles as his Chancellor of the exchequer. However, with scandals and rumours encircling him as well as the "Champagne Socialists", led by James Stoneman, that opposed him gaining popularity from a desparate London. With once proud nations around the world having fallen from grace one by one, first the U.S.A in 2025, then China the following year, planet earth had devolved in to a miserable example of human nature. Animalistic, Violent and Instinctual. Most countries by now were either a nuclear wasteland or an impoverished sector. The world was making a sad spectacle of itself. There was only a few surviving nations. Would Britain fall? Arthur was a good man. But sometimes, good men have to be bad to achieve good. For the greater good. Right? The impending election will test wit, resolve and sovereignty. The year was 2040, or as the children of the future will come to know it, Judgement Day.
