What is the bunker good for? Are they just going to live their little lives eating preserved food or will they have an army that controls the surrounding lands like a feudal lord? What's the long term plan here?

One thing we've learned during covid lockdowns is that most people aren't really able to live locked up in a bunker for too long. I imagine this is especially true for narcissistic people who are used to having their every whim catered to. So yeah, don't see what they're thinking there either to be honest.

will they have an army that controls the surrounding lands like a feudal lord

I would guess this. Of course, such delusions don't account for the material reality.
