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 and conducting left-wing agendas, and a
corrupt Congress, have caused the American people with most members of the
House and Senate putting their personal agendas ahead of those of their
constituents and engaging in activities worthy of primetime television and
their bungling of domestic and international affairs, have caused the
American people to turn to Christianity as a way of solving the nations
problems, both moral and otherwise.

For years, a nationwide religious revival lead by a powerful
Chrristian televangeliest 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 2004, 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, the televangelist
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, the televangelist is sworn into office and immediately starts
to secretly make changes. He abolishes the Constitution and the Federal
Government and establishes a theocratic dictatorship. He abolishes
Congress and creates the Holy Assembly, reorganizes the Armed Forces into
a structure similar to the armed forces of Nazi Germany, appoints CCP
governors of the states, establishes a Geatapo-like Secret Police
organization called the Angels of the Lord, and abolishes separation of
Church and State, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, etc. The new
dictator becomes known as "The Prophet". American youth are organized into
youth organizations called "Evangelical Youth Organizations" or EYO's. And
other American religions are brutally suppressed.

"The Prophet" enforces his will and flexes the muscles of the new
American theocracy using never-before-seen military and police technology.
The United States as we know it no longer exists. It has become a
theocratic version of Nazi Germany where freedom has been replaced by
tyranny, and where the Prophet's Nazi-like brand of Christianity is
brutally and lethally enforced.

The majority of Americans support the Prophet, but a small group of
Americans does not. Determined to overthrow the theocracy and take their
beloved nation back. they form an underground resistance organization
known as The Resistance. The Resistance is financed and presided over by a
fiercely patriotic Texas billionaire and led in the field by a young
Irish-American woman.

The odds against the Resistance are high. Most Americans are
sympathetic to the theocracy, the Prophet's police and military are
highly-trained, elite forces, and the entire nation is a place where truth
and lies seem to merge and no one can be trusted. But the Resistance has a
motley crew of allies including religious cults, anti-theocracy religious
organizations, the Mafia, street gangs, motorcycle gangs, gangs of armed
truckers, renegade Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and US Special
Forces units, a force of Vietnam and Gulf War veterans called DRAGON FIRE,
and a covert intelligence network. Together they fight for freedom against
the theocracy. But the Resistance will have to be careful. The theocracy
has allies. too. They include the Tennessee Holy Crusaders, an armed group
from Tennessee, the Evangelical Youth Paramilitary Group (EYPG), an armed
force of young people, the Conservative Patriots, and intelligence
operatives and informants.

America will soon erupt into war.....

Join the fight against the theocracy as the fate of America and
everything hangs in the balance. The story will start about a month before
the election of 2004. This sim is based on the novel "Revolt In 2100" by
Robert A. Heinlein. The story will be told through the eyes of people on
both sides.
