Present day, historical, alternate history, imagined country, whatever.
I want to see some crazy political backstabbing that is just as topsy-turvy as the following the weird ass stories that come out of present day China, North Korea, or Soviet Russia. I want to see servants of the state balancing their grotesque appetites while maintaining the facade of humility that their position requires. I want to see plot-specific reasons for arbitrary gamesmanship and political jousting. I want to see a situation where purging your staff means you really do purge your staff.
I think it could be the best thing ever. Does such a thing exist now, in some sort of media I may acquire?
