It was "just a project". That's what they kept saying, just a college project for a little extra credit in poly-sci class. Brad, Penny, Tony and Mel would simply create a small manageable version of the Federal Government and experience some semblance of the job our elected officials have--It seemed like the right thing to do. What they didn't understand is, government is never small nor manageable, and is often not the right thing to do.

Follow this story of a college project gone wild and see how the founders keep their sanity, while the project becomes the realization of a politician's greatest fear.
