Tribulations of a newly elected President.

1973. The early tenure of Sandy Studsbury as the President of the Republic of the United Status is presented, he a neophyte politician as a graduate of Hotel Management, nonetheless winning the election in a landslide. His senior team includes: Chester Kitty-Litter, his liberal-minded and free-thinking left hand advisor; Lawrence Silver-Sky, his fascist right hand advisor; and Felipe Green, his personal secretary who, perhaps not as well versed politically as his coworkers, knows all about culture being married to a Hollywood actress. The President also has a bidirectional relationship with the church, to who he acts as an advisor as well as from who he receives advice. He is unaware that he is in over his head in this role, despite or in spite of his team, as they largely conduct business, including coming up with on the fly policy decisions, on an otherwise deserted beach.—Huggo
