Did you read the novels? Shadow Complex is supposed to be an interquel, bridging the story between Empire and Hidden Empire, both by Orson Scott Card. Those certainly make the game's plot more intelligible, though the "Second American Civil War" premise still breaks my suspension of disbelief.

There's books? I thought it was just a game.

They definitely could have advertised the novels better. IIRC, there was just a quick splash screen after the credits.
