is the 2030 vampire-takeover setting treated as background or foreground

The premise is doing a lot, vampires openly ruling, humans still going to school under them, Vanessa as royalty tied to Vlad himself. I'm trying to figure out before I commit to a long thread whether the political setting actually gets explored, or whether it's mostly backdrop for a school-hierarchy dynamic with her at the top. Comparing it mentally to other 'ruling class' premise cards where the worldbuilding mostly stays decorative.
