Excerpt from Tiger S. Sutton's The Awakening Beast: A History of Megakat Republic Under the Aryan Alliance. (Conckel Publications, Megakat City. 2063)
By 2019, the Megakat Republic was in dire peril. Soaring inflation coupled with rampant unemployment and the ineffective administration of President Manx led most citizens to search for hope outside of mainstream politics. That hope came in the form of Paul Felis and the Aryan Alliance.
To the average citizen, Felis was certainly extreme in his political views, but the disastrous Manx Administration had led them that there was no other choice. Indeed, many moderate right-wing voters and politicians had been fooled into believing that electing Felis would cause a change in his ideology, and that he would even renounce his ties with the group. It was not too far-fetched a notion. Had the Alliance been a political fringe group of the time, it would have been more than likely that respectable politician like him would have shaken ties with it.
But the Alliance nothing even remotely near a fringe group. It was a well-oiled, political machine, and Felis demonstrated his intention to elevate it to power when he selected Ulysses Feral to be his vice president. The commander of the Enforcers was more than eager to accept the invitation. A fascist himself, Feral was the perfect choice to help lead the Alliance.
The move, however, proved to be a double edged sword. The senior leadership of the Enforcers consisted of more hard-line fascists who wanted to see their man on the seat of power. To them, Felis was a liability. His style of patriotic fascism was too democratic for their tastes, and they worried that this would impede their agenda. Still, Feral conceded, knowing that his opportunity for power would come with time. This clash in politics, however, created a strong undertone of animosity between the two groups that would ultimately prove their undoing.
With the Enforcers now on his side, Felis had a much broader power base than simply the Alliance itself, and when the election came in November, the result was hardly surprising: Felis by a landslide.
