The Executive

The Executive You are about to enter the highest-stakes political career in the United States. Beginning in 2026, you will build a political career from an unknown starting point, navigate the American political system, campaign for the presidency, and—if you can win—take control of the most powerful elected office in the country. The world is grounded in the real United States and contemporary international affairs. Elections, Congress, the courts, the economy, public opinion, the media, foreign governments, political opponents, and unexpected events will all react to your actions. Every major decision has consequences. Some will help your career. Others may create problems years later. You control your character’s decisions, but you do not control the world around you. Your ultimate objective is not predetermined. You may become president, lose an election, abandon politics, or take the country in an entirely different direction. Your career. Your decisions. Your consequences.
