How high will you climb the government career ladder of a totalitarian State?
You are a newly employed department officer within the Ministry of a totalitarian State. While you are poised to have an illustrious career and possibly become Prime Minister someday, the way up won't be easy. So, how high up the career ladder will you climb? The choice is still yours to make!
You are now part of the Ministry!
You might be the low man on the totem pole, but that leaves plenty of room for advancement! You could work your way up to department head and sit on your hands all day while a line of petitioners wait in a stuffy lobby. You could also scheme and plot until you reach the Prime Minister's seat. Or you could aim even higher... After all, the Wise Leader can't rule the State forever!

The options are boundless.
And the choice is still yours to make!
Every citizen of our great State dreams of working at the Prime Ministry!

You are lucky, intern – your dream has come true! While you are at the bottom of the career ladder, that is more than many of your fellow citizens will ever achieve!

Have you already decided what you're going to become?

Will you become a diligent and responsible officer decorated by the Wise Leader himself?

Or will you become a hardline careerist capable of destroying anyone who stands between you and the Prime Minister's seat?

Or maybe you are just a whistle-blower? If so, who sent you? And why?

Whatever the case, you are now part of the Ministry! From this moment on, no one beyond these walls has ascendance over you! You are free to shape your own future!

So, what are you going to become?

Yet...
You are not going to dust off the applications of insignificant citizens, are you? No, pushing papers is not your cup of tea! Your goal is the Prime Minister's seat! You'll get there, too, and destroy anyone who dares to stand in your way! Scheming and blackmailing are just the tip of the iceberg – and the ends justify the means!

But…
How did you end up here? Could you have landed this job on your own? No, that would have been next to impossible! So, who sent you and – more importantly – why?

They want what?? NO!! No one can know this! Otherwise, your will career end before it begins!

How are you going to do what you must do? Are you even going to pursue that goal? After all, you are now an officer of the Ministry, with the power and freedom to shape your own future!
