* CommieNazis: Political affiliation was left ambiguous, though deliberately negative. He was a nationalist, to be sure, yet the Orwellian association of calling transparent war machines "machines of peace" by his spokesman is an allusion to state propaganda practiced by both commies and Nazis. Calling him "chancellor" was [[ThoseWackyNazis deliberately invoking Nazi association]].

* {{Expy}}: Of [=GLaDOS=]. Firstly, its appearance to [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]] is uncanny; it first moves around by swiveling on a giant arm that is attached above and the glowing eye in a sphere is exactly like a more steampunk version of a [=GLaDOS=] personality core. Second, it 'attacks' with drones and machines, particularly gun-drones with machineguns, and finally it uses a deadly gas toxin (possibly a nerve gas) for an area of effect attack.
