What?
This game is about 'what' exactly? All that and more in this post.
Ever notice that the "people in charge" are really bad at being in charge? That's what this game is about. It's about having a laugh or two at their expense. And don't worry. No punches will be held. All who can be blamed, shall be blamed. To call out a few right now...
US Government Officials- From the President to the Federal Reserve Chairman
Coked up Bankers - And the occasional non-banker billionaire
The Sackler Family - Their mirror images in the Chinese Triads cameo through the plot as well
So this game is about how all of them ^ have impacted you. They've done some nasty, nasty, things. But its also been like 10+ years so we can joke about it. Case in point...
Circa 2002, President Bush decided we should invade Iraq (based on lies that there were weapons of mass destruction). We then toppled the Iraqi government + propped up a bunch of corrupt idiots to run / ruin the country. This upset an Iraqi journalist. He subsequently threw his shoes at President Bush during a press conference.
The Iraqi people erected a statue in his honor (See image above). The statue was eventually destroyed, but I humbly offer Level 3 of Central Banking Simulator as an eternal tribute.
