We have met the Government Conspiracy, and it is us! The main characters are The Government (or at least part of it) — in The White House, Whitehall, the Governor's mansion, a Covert Group, or bureaucrats elsewhere. Variations range from Sitcom to Prime Time Soap with political trappings to topical Ripped from the Headlines drama. A Law Procedural with government attorneys as the main protagonists is a subgenre. See Spy Fiction for espionage themed stuff. See also Police Procedural and Cop Show for law enforcement portrayals. If the story is more of a character drama focusing on one leader in particular, see Ruler Protagonist. Examples |

The war-themed epic thriller Victoria: A Novel of 4th Generation War includes heavy elements of this, with political planning and machinations (within both the civilian government and the General Staff) as important to the story as the military action itself. | |

Sunless Skies has a full-on parody of this genre if you decide to try to become a part of Parliament. Queen Victoria hasn't paid attention to Parliament in years, and any law you manage to get passed will inevitably be fastidiously destroyed in front of you if you present it to the throne. | |

When the plot doesn't center on the military action, much of the plot of the Honor Harrington series busies itself with the intricate workings of the various governments involved, and occasionally gives the impression that the military commanders have a less stressful job than the politicians do (Some of the politicians certainly think so, at least). | |
