What happens
With the Boston insurrection finally at an end, many in the government are unsure how to proceed. MacArthur's Government of National Defense was originally envisioned to only last until the end of the war. However, the world around America has only grown more hostile, and we may soon find ourselves once again at war. Fascist leader William Dudley Pelley has publicly called for a return to 'lawful and orderly government', while thanking MacArthur for his service. Pointing to the surge in support for his movement during the war, Pelley clearly considers himself predestined for the position of President and Leader of America. In an uncharacteristic show of humility, the American leader has offered to step down should the public opinion demand it. The American people look to us to see how the rest of the administration considers the issue.
