I think I already said I've always wanted to do a political RP based in/on Israel, but due to it being Israel that's never gonna happen

More like the TV show Years and Years, if you've heard of it or seen it? It was (and still is) on the BBC, and I think it did a bit on HBO as well.

I watched the trailer.

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.

I like that idea, maybe a former Soviet state.

I did have one in the USA slightly into the future, with martial law and stuff after a major attack on DC which killed everybody in the line of succession along with a few thousand civilian casualties.

Corona worsened, 30 million got infected, they did electronic elections, it got hacked by some unknown terrorist organisation (or maybe one of the parties themselves, who knows?) and everyone went into an uproar. Donnie Trump won, but not without left-wing opposition. It was still Trump v. Biden, with Trump winning a close margin, of course, but then in 2023 or so the aforementioned terrorist attack happened and a new temporary government was set up in New York City, with the blame falling on a "sore loser left" and a right-wing government taking power.

Of course, that's not to say all the right supported the government. Both libertarians and the left rose in opposition, but were crushed. Both major parties exist, and are prepping for the first election since 2020...The 2024 election was indeed cancelled, but the incumbent President moved aside for the Speaker of the House, who is running in 2028 as a Republican, with primaries ready on both sides.

Never heard of the Mandibles. I think it's more like a political Black Mirror, the slow descent of society into hell.

The Mandibles is a novel that deals with an economic dystopia in the United States so massive that the country slowly turns authoritarian from the collapse. It's similar to Years and Years for how a simple family tries to survive it out among the harsh realities of the world.

He's closer to a hybrid of Berzelius Windrip and Peter MacLeish than Viv Rook, tbh.

who now

Berzelius Windrip is from the book It Can't Happen Here by Upton Sinclair, a violent demagogue who rises to power through large promises of welfare and traditionalism. He already seemed authoritarian before being elected, but he went much further than expected: effectively trashing the 1st Amendment, setting up paramilitaries and built concentration camps.

Peter MacLeish was a war hero from Designated Survivor, built as a front for far-right nationalists to "reclaim their country". He was comparatively young, had high support and slanted to the right. Despite his views, he had a conscience for what he did and regrets it. He gained power for a while, sabotaged the White House to save his co-conspirators.
