Of course it is... as the Federation hasn't crumbled to dust yet...
But in reality, in some form, I suspect so... though given whats happened and what may happen in the DS9-R, they may have been unable to help in this case...
Who is the next Castellan after Alon Ghemor?
Sorry--have not been reading all of the novels as these days I pretty much stick to ones that are purely Cardassia-centered, and I've missed some of the little drips and drabs that show up elsewhere.

Well, I really shouldn't be telling you this... but it turns out there really are Soulless Minions of Orthodoxy, and...
Please, no more big bads! After the Borg War, the Dominion War, the Genesis Wave, the Selevian War, and about fifty other galactic threats since the 2370s, its time we spent a little while in the pause, dealing with small, day-to-day crises like potential wars and psychotic doppelgangers.
From the back A Singular Destiny, it sounds it might be introducing us to some kind of a new big bad. I'm mainly referring to this part
As for the political situation, I know alot of people were talking about war in some of the earlier threads, but I really think the opposite will be true. I'm really thinking that all of this could actually be enought to really start to bring the big powers together, I'm mainly thinking the Federation, Klingons, one of the Romulan governments, and I wouldn't be suprised if some of the other less powerfull races joined them too. But if only one of the Romulan governments allied with the Feds/Klingons/whoever what do you think the other would do?
I'm just curious if it is a completely new threat, or if it's someone we already know taking advantage of the situation.

And they're going to hound your work!!!
The Dominion wouldn't hurt a fly...
^ Well thats no fun!! Though I think there is some of that coming, in addition to some big bads!! I'll bring popcorn...
Advisor to the President? Hopefully that means that Nan Bacco will get some more 'screen time'.
I have to agree with David cgc, we've had a lot of End of the Universe/End of the Federation type stories going recently. As much as I have enjoyed them, I would like to see something else for awhile so that these BIGGER stories don't desensitize us to that type of thing.

Madam President gets a goodly amount of "screen time" in A Singular Destiny, worry not.
^ Just what I wanted to hear 
If I had to write the next book, id make an end-of-the-Federation story , but the bad guys wouldnt be giant ships with giant guns,
but be believable, trusting charachters who use intrigue and deception within Starfleet to do what the Borg almost did by force.

While the reality is that they need to do stories about competition and conflict, they also need stories of renewal now, IMO. I don't think they should do any more apocalyptic tales for a while -- when they do stores of Federation conflict, the stakes ought to be lower.

I am more and more looking forward to that book!
We don't know, other than that it's a woman.
Interesting, that. Hmm...Castellan Ocett?
Is this also the same person who will narrate The Neverending Sacrifice? Or is there nothing at this time to link the two?
Man.. I have a LOT to read and unfortunately I can't find some of those books anymore.
Now, since I haven't read them, I'll admit, is there any possibility that Cardassia, or any other power for that matter, might eventually become a Nazi Germany like state following the destruction that happened to Germany in WWI and the problems with the Weimar Republic?
Just based on what I read, it seems like Cardassia may be the former empire in which this may be possible?
If it sounds crazy, I apologize. It's just conjecture and I have a LOT to catch up on.

That's pretty much what Cardassia was *before*.

Well, the Cardassian Union was already essentially a totalitarian military dictatorship, so I'm not sure how much more Nazi-ish they could get.
Right now, they are a democracy, albeit a barely functional one. We don't know under what circumstances the new Castellan came to power -- though we do know that Elim Garak remains a key player in the Cardassian government. Garak seemed to convert to liberal democracy in A Stitch in Time, sooooo.... We'll see!
As noted above, that's pretty much the way they were under Central Command, before the Dominion War.
In terms of physical destruction, Germany didn't see much during WW1. The major fighting was in France, Belgium, and (present-day) Poland.
