Description:

In 2004, the United States of America is in a state of secular
decline. Years of liberal Democratic Party governance, with presidential
administrations marred by scandal, dishonor, and conducting left-wing
policies, a corrupt Congress, and a nation long influenced by what
evangelical Christians regard as "immorality" such as Hollywood and other
so-called "immoral" influences, have caused Americans to turn to die-hard
conservative politics and evangelical Christianity, which has caused the
United States to suffer a secular decline.

For years, a nationwide religious revival led by a famous Christian
televangelist, Reverend Nehemiah Scudder and his church, the Church of
Universal Fellowship, known as "The Great Crusade", has been underway and
has reached every segment of the population. CUF churches exist all over
the United States and each and every one holds religious rallies. American
youth hold youth revivals. In 1992, the televangelist decides to jump into
politics and forms a political party called the Christian Covenant Party.

Over the next twelve years, the CCP slowly gains support and erodes
away at the Democratic and Republican power base. By 2000, the Democrats
and Republicans are weak and on the brink of collapse. The CCP becomes the
most powerful political party in the nation. In 2003, Reverend Scudder
declares his candidacy for President of the United States and mounts a
presidential campaign. In 2004, he wins by a landslide. CCP candidates run
for Congress in every major state and win.

In 2005, Reverend Scudder is sworn into office and immediately starts
to secretly make changes. He abolishes the Constitution and the Federal
Government and establishes a theocratic dictatorship. The United States of
America ceases to exist and a new theocratic America comes into existence.
The world is alarmed as the only global superpower becomes a theocratic
tyrant.

But the majority of Americans do not see the theocracy as tyranny.
They overwhelmingly support the new theocracy of Nehemiah Scudder as he
brutally suppresses secularism, lays down religious law, and bans other
faiths. But not everybody supports the theocracy. During the 2004
campaign, small groups of Americans are suspicious of Reverend Scudder and
the CCP and started investigating him and his reasons for running for
President.

After Reverend Scudder establishes his theocratic regime, these groups
come together to form an underground resistance organization known as the
Resistance. The Resistance is led by a young Irish-American woman and is a
motley force of civilians from all walks of life and renegade Army, Navy,
Marine, and Air Force units. But the Resistance's war against the
theocracy won't be easy. Most Americans support the theocracy, the armed
forces and secret police forces of the theocracy are well trained and
armed, and informants lurk around every corner! But there's one thing
Nehemiah Scudder doesn't know. There are those within the ranks of his
regime who don't believe in what the reverend is doing. They are the Fifth
Column, and they will aid the Resistance.

But the Resistance is determined to prevail. It isn't long before
America erupts into war! Join the fight. You can be a character in the
Resistance or the theocracy, or a civilian. "America: The Final Conflict"
is based on "Revolt In 2100" by Robert Heinlein.
