About The Regime
Will Tracey’s The Regime follows the crumbling authoritarian rule of Chancellor Elena Vernham, who has confined herself to her marvelous palace and is apathetic towards her duties. Elena’s laidback and paranoid nature has created quite a ruckus, where her generals and ministers are growing crotchety with each passing second, given the government is on the brink of collapse.
Meanwhile, Elena hires Herbert Zubak, a soldier accused of being a war criminal. Elena grows fond of Zubak, who eventually becomes her most trusted confidant. Zubak also becomes her sole advisor, and his influence further wreaks havoc around, turning Elena into a megalomaniac person and intensifying the chaos.
