Few questions I think everyone will benefit from knowing publicly. 

Has martial law been declared? What's the governments presence like throughout the country and in Philly? Will we encounter US military? Or has the entire government and subsequently the US military disbanded and everyones fending for themselves?

Has the whole world gone to shit or is this an isolated United States incident?

Lastly, can I make two factions? I wanted to create a sort of political organization that is pretty large, with tens of thousands of members scattered throughout the country. But it's essentially NPC's. While the faction that I would be playing as, would be allied muscle of this organization, comprised of 20-50 members give or take in the Philadelphia area.
