the Dresden Files in a Government Town
srl51676:
-Gov. plans to weaponize magic creatures, casters, routs through the Nevernever etc
-Casters added to secret service details for key gov. officials
-white court controlling political figures with sex or blackmail
-Head of state binds nation to agreement with the fey then tries to back out due to very high cost (think Torchwood Children of Earth)
-Terrorist plot Involving Djinn
-"Night at the Museum"
-janitor at the PM's home is selling locks of hair or nail clippings to "collectors"
Any of these could lead to a major confrontation when the UN discovers that one nation has had contact/made deals with newly discovered supernatural beings to gain advantage.
Knave:
Some of the stuff that you folks are slinging about sounds more like X-Men than DF, but YMMV.
For my part I plan to run a game in London, where the (mortal) Queen still holds quite a bit of real power due to the faeries having signed onto the magna carta. The Queen has a set number of favors to call in to deal with 'big problems'. So Royalty stands between the mortal government and the faerie Parliament of Lords, but has to decide carefully whether or not to risk asking for aid.
Tradition also holds that a member of the White Council make him or herself available to advise the monarch should she wish it.
The PM and his cabinet will be aware of 'unusual threats' and have a few special units available to deal with them - notably a squad of SAS werewolves.
Aside from that there will be a couple of clued in enforcement units in the firearms branch of the police, but that about sums it up.
srl51676:
Your point about the X-men is valid but this is because the issues are very similar the only difference is the source of power not it effects, uses, or challenges.
Your game sounds great I love the idea of a historical connection between the Crown and the Fey as well as the White Council. I can imagine similar pacts in other places Especially Asian rulers and Dragons for example the "divine Wind" that protected Japan from Mongol invasions twice.

just read another thread about possible spin off books http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,15416.msg727864.html#msg727864 in the initial post butcher mentions the "Special Collections Division of the Library of Congress. (Do NOT screw with the Librarians. Holy moly. Just don't.)" this seem to solve our debate at least as far and Jim's version. As has been said in other threads your DF universe may differ.

...well, least now we know who confiscated the film from Fool Moon ;D
Incidentally, the US and (probably) Russian governments at the least know about the White Council. IIRC, Jim mentioned somewhere that the Council helped broker nuclear treaties between the two world superpowers.
