In a not so distant future; the NSA and Homeland Security have merged into the Specialized Homeland and Overseas Protectorate, an entity known as, The Shop. The government of the United States has been removed in its place; a benevolent dictator has been seated as the head of The Shop, for life. From the continued restructuring of health care, and the creation of a Certified Press; to the ban; on nicotine-producing products, on non-prescription drugs, and on the consumption of meat products; to the support; of THC producing products, and of the freedom to choose sterility with an abortion.
