What’s more dangerous than a constitutional crisis? The people trying to solve it.
When an error on a federal form accidentally casts Minnesota out of the Union, a ridiculous constitutional crisis erupts. Instead of fixing the bureaucratic mishap, Washington weaponizes it. Prompt leadership grabs power, rogue militias prepare for battle, and opportunists scramble for control—turning an administrative error into an absurd alternate-history conflict that will tear America apart.
Blending sharp political and military satire in the vein of Dr. Strangelove, Nothing Civil About It: A Silly Story About the 2nd War Between the States delivers an outrageously funny tale of modern political madness.
