I suppose they could *let* the current government keep running itself, but technically, without SOLDIER there to protect them, the vampires could just kill anyone they wanted. So I guess, yes, the USA is now Magnus' kingdom. We probably shouldn't get too technical.

I actually kind of like the idea of Magnus having used his army of vampires to have taken over the USA, slaughtering the government. It ould be a huge statement to other governments throughout the world, and could start a whole bunch of political intrigue.
