Commonwealth Emergency Government

The Commonwealth Emergency Government was a post-war government founded by surviving Commonwealth of Massachusetts government officials. It operated out of the Commonwealth Emergency Government Headquarters, and was managed by the Emergency Cabinet under Provisional Governor Graham.
==Background==
Before the Great War in 2077, the Boston Civil Defense Administration began a project to ensure the survival of Boston in the wake of potential nuclear war. Under Chief of Civil Defense Leonard Thompson, the extremely under-funded organization was able to convert existing buildings to accommodate potential emergency uses. Their base of operations, the Commonwealth Emergency Government Headquarters, or CEGH, was the only structure specifically built for the administration.
During the chaos of the Great War, many government officials in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts died or went missing. Those who made it to the CEGH were immediately set to work administering the battered Commonwealth under Graham and his Emergency Cabinet.
Graham ruled the Commonwealth Emergency Government with an iron fist following nuclear annihilation. He viewed himself as the true last line of succession, the only person capable of rebuilding Boston and Massachusetts as a whole. This put him at odds with the military remnants of Fort Hagen who refused to fall under his authority. Without a military to enforce his will, Graham turned what remained of the Boston Police Department into his own personal enforcers. With pre-War riot gear and stolen military equipment, Boston PD tried to keep order amongst the survivors of the Commonwealth in the years following the Great War.
The emergency government finally broke down in 2081 following years of dwindling supplies, desertion, and skirmishes against the Commonwealth's military remnants.
==Structure==
The Commonwealth Emergency Government had several departments operating under it. These included the Departments of Health and Welfare, Public Works, Civil Defense, Fire, Police, Resources, Catastrophe and Relief, and Public Information and Communication. There was to be a military liaison as part of the government, but after a falling out between the remnants of the military in Boston and the emergency government this position was removed.
