Ticket Price £30, 12th of April 2025, The Brighthelm Centre, North Road, Brighton, BN1 1YD
Ministers of Yugenya, Unite!
The death of the Generalissimo is both unexpected and unexplained; our nation has been plunged into mourning. But despite our own grief, it is upon us, as members of Yugenya’s Parliament, to rally together and steer our people from the precipice of panic, infighting, and economic disaster. Our enemies will be watchful for any opportunity to topple us. Let us stand together, set aside our grudges, and pull Yugenya through to a bright new age!
Remaining Roles
Entertainment Chief
Generalissimo or no, the people of Yugenya want television. And they want it on time. It’s up to you to choose how to steer and shape the nation in your choice of entertainment. Will you air ‘Pride & Extreme Prejudice’, or ‘Eastgenyans’?
National Film Director
You are a force of art. The world needs to know that. Perhaps in the wake of great change, now is your time to get some of your more controversial works into the public eye.
Head of Interal Affairs
People, as well as systems, are flawed. You know this better than anyone. It is your job to assume threats are abound within the cabinet and monitor them. If extreme circumstances arise, take extreme action.
What is a Megagame?
A megagame is a social game in which large numbers of people, in this case over 37, come together in order to play out a single dramatic scenario over the course of a single day. The game shares elements of social deduction, roleplaying and large scale board games.
The Generalissimo is Dead is a Megagame written by Ciaran O’Sullivan and brought to you by GetQuesting.

Supreme Court Justice: CLAIMED
Head of Revolutionary Standards: CLAIMED
Chief of Secret Police: CLAIMED
Perhaps now more than ever, there is the risk of mutiny and dissent within Yugenya. Even within the halls of power. Internal security is the committees most powerful tool in remaining aware of potentially detrimental alliances forming within the other ministries.
Furthermore, numerous people, many close to other ministers or critical to political movements, have been locked away over the years and decades. Internal security holds the keys.
Ministry of Economic Development
Head of Agriculture: CLAIMED
Head of Manufacturing: CLAIMED
Head of Services: CLAIMED
Head of Finance: CLAIMED
Head of Mining: CLAIMED
The ministry of economic development is in direct contact with the lifeblood Yugenya. The goods made, the food farmed, the internal trade and standard of hospitatlity all rests on the shoulders of a few ministers. They walk a fine line between public content and total civic collapse.
The Revolutionary Guard
General of Land Forces: CLAIMED
Admiral of Sea Forces: CLAIMED
Marshall of Sky Forces: CLAIMED
General of Reserve Forces: CLAIMED
A political-military force loyal to the Generalissimo’s ideology. Their allegiance is uncertain as they can act as enforcers of the new regime or become kingmakers in the struggle for power.
The Foreign Ministry
Head of Intelligence: CLAIMED
Head of Trade: CLAIMED
Head of International Development: CLAIMED
With the death of the Generalissimo, the other powers of the world will be looking to profit from the turmoil. The Foreign Ministry must be pure and judicious in handling these external, and potentially threatening relationships.

Entertainment Chief:
National Film Director:
Chief Broadcast Officer: CLAIMED
The ministry of communications is commanded by the head of Security. In the Generalissimo’s eyes, news and entertainment was critical to public order. Those in the ministry will be tasked with regular broadcasts to the rest of government.
Ministry of Transport
Public Transport Lead: CLAIMED
Import and Export Officer: CLAIMED
Infrastructure Planning Director: CLAIMED
The Generalissimo, in his infinite wisdom, could not decide if transport was an external or internal affair. Nonetheless, the trains, planes, buses and highways are critical to economic or military power.
The Treasury
Senior Auditor: CLAIMED
Chancellor: CLAIMED
All ministries require spending to achieve anything. And to spend, they must have the blessing of the treasury. The Generalissimo always kept them separated from the rest of the ministers; much rests on their impartiality.
Ministry of Health & Safety
Chief Medical Officer: CLAIMED
Public Safety Officer: CLAIMED
Commissioner for Civil Resilience: CLAIMED
Potentially the most publically visible of the government bodies- the ministry for Health & Safety controls the medical staff, enforcement officers and fire services of Yugenya. A misuese of these resources is a calamity they strive to avoid.
FreedomCorp
Yugenya Regional President: CLAIMED
Yugenya Operations Chief: CLAIMED
The Western superpower and one of two foreign corporations that are keen to capitalize on the upheaval ahead. While their staff won’t have the voting rights of the ministers above, they will be greatly impacted by their decisions. Consequently, FreedomCorp has considerable persuasive powers to protect their interests.
