** Zhdanov's [[VisionaryVillain ultravisionary]] [[SovietSuperscience superculture]] was originally likened to "Earrape soviet anthem qwith[sic] galactic sounds." The only option is to respond, "Gang shit."

* For the 2020 Halloween Event, the ZombieApocalypse horde is led by ''The Rotting Corpse of Joseph Goebbels''! It is darkly humorous considering that Goebbels has often been compared to a skeleton due to his LeanAndMean appearance and his VillainousCheekbones, and is now fittingly leading an army of skeletons. Looks like all those "Herr Skeletor" jokes have finally come true!

** Midway into the Iberia game, the Caudillos propose improving the lives of the citizens on the basis of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs Maslow Hierarchies of needs]]. One of the topics discussed is [[SexualEuphemism "Sleep and Reproduction"]]... which everyone collectively agrees to ignore.

** A sample of all the ways he may meet his end: [[ColonyDrop Squished by the deorbited Sun Gun, meteor strike]], SpontaneousHumanCombustion, [[NukeEm nuked]], gunned down by the Literature/LittleRedRidingHood, ExitPursuedByABear, taken by the [[Wiki/SCPFoundation Foundation]], BoltOfDivineRetribution, [[ToiletHumor choking on]] [[UndignifiedDeath horse excrements]], [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext bitten by a]] [[VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake deadly venomous Zanzibar hamster]] and [[BreakingTheFourthWall noticing the player]] [[GoMadFromTheRevelation and promptly going insane]].

** Finally, as mentioned in the folder for Germany, Curtis [=LeMay=] has no tolerance for the cameras starting to roll when they agreed to wait until the conference, as the Nazis will be using the footage for their propaganda. All hell breaks loose as the two begin a shouting match, capping off with [=LeMay=] declaring, "[[UsefulNotes/NikitaKhrushchev We will bury you!]]".

** One player browsing through Brazil's leader portraits found [[https://old.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/rfggqm/why_the_hell_are_there_10_portraits_of_quadros_in/ ten different portraits]] of potential president Jânio Quadros. Only one of these portraits is actually used, and after seeing the others, it's easy to see why. Devs later admitted it's not even DummiedOut content; Quadros just made so many bizarre expressions in public appearances the portrait artists couldn't resist.

* A Steve event gives him the chance to pick one of three districts in Komi's capital city, and each one is a funny moment of its own. The first has him [[WeAreStrugglingTogether sit in on one of the explosive debates held by the government]], where he makes observations of some of the politicians there, such as [[AxCrazy Taboritsky]] reminding Steve of his Uncle Earl (due to them both [[CreepyUncle looking like creeps]]), and Komi's President and Vice-President "looking absolutely miserable" with the chaos. The second has them blunder into a "bad part of town" where [[BlackShirt far-right]] and [[BombThrowingAnarchists far-left]] militias are shooting each other in the streets, and him and Zoya getting forced to pay one of them for "[[ProtectionRacket protection]]" (who then basically force Steve to only interview pro-socialist civilians due to having him and Zoya at gunpoint). The third has Steve roped into an interview with [[VoiceOfTheResistance Radio Free Syktyvkar]], which is mostly Heartwarming, but has a snicker-worthy moment where it's revealed the radio's host in named [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov]].

* There are events that bring up various in-universe AlternateHistory novels detailing a world in which World War II went differently, and some of them fall into this.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[WhatWereYouThinking Well, what else were you expecting from enforcing racial segregation, Mr. President?]]]]

* Players browsed through the game files and found [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/i621pz/all_the_memeweird_portraits/ joke portraits]], like UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush with a Japan tag, Himmler in England (with the internal name of [[{{Pun}} Heinrich_HMMLR]])[[note]]this one is [[https://old.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/i9p10n/heinrich_hmmlr_ruling_england/ actually used ingame]], as the ruler of England if the player uses the console to convert the country to Esoteric Nazism[[/note]], "[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain Punished Stalin]]" (a heavily scarred Stalin with an eyepatch) in Tyumen [[note]]this one is lifted from Stalin's ''VideoGame/{{Kaiserredux}} portrait''[[/note]], Alexander Kolchak ([[PosthumousCharacter a skeleton]] in a military uniform) in Chita [[note]]A reference to Kaiserreich's Transamur Republic.[[/note]], Creator/ToddHoward ([[TakeThat dressed in a SS uniform]]) in Burgundy, a moai in Omsk...

** One of the earlier branches that he can no longer take leads to America descending into chaos as it develops apartheid thanks to his disastrously bad policies down that path. It ends with a depiction of Nixon using a fire extinguisher and the title, "Calm the Hell Down!", implying that he's blaming everyone else for causing the tragic state of the nation rather than admitting that bending to the segregationists was a [[{{Understatement}} bad move]].

--->Shut up! Shut up! Shut the hell up, you goddamn animals. You think it's easy to run a country? You think we enjoy having to listen to this liberal whining day in and day out? For Christ's sake, we're the most tolerant people in this shop, but keep this up and we're capable of turning right awful hard. We'll make George Wallace and Bull Connor look like goddamn hippies.\\\

** The Governatorato del Levante is full of placeholder text, especially when it comes to executing Operation Masada. One decision you can take involves you attempting to assassinate leaders of Irgun or Harakiyyin.

* When Taboritsky tries to crush the leftist powers to give the Monarchists of Komi more power in his focus tree, there is a chance that his secretary will find a paper [[HistoricalCharacterConfusion speculating]] that Alexei ''Kosigyn'', the [=LibDem=] of the democratic wing, is also Alexei Romanov, whom Taboritsky has long sought after under the belief that he survived the revolution. Then he has the [[SarcasmMode bright idea]] to [[https://i.redd.it/jaeeeivprks51.png send it to Taboritsky's office for him to read and consider]]. Long story short, the Regent angrily tells his assistant to GetOut. Fortunately, he escapes with his life after trying what he did.

** Changing the Free Aviators from Socialism to Market Liberal will turn them into the [[https://i.redd.it/jggb3lcw8ba51.png "Premium Aviators"]]. This is another nod to older versions of the game, where their old Russian name would literally translate into "The Free of Charge Aviators."

* To further establish his CultOfPersonality, Bormann commissions for a television show to be made about him saving Germany, appealing to younger audiences. What follows is a ComingOfAgeStory surrounding audiences watching a Saturday morning cartoon of the Führer being a superhero. A young boy, in his favorite "Bormann t-shirt," watches as his hero in knightly armor defeats the other factions of the Civil War.[[note]] Said "Bormann t-shirt" might or might not be a nod to the time a user made a "Speer Hoodie", to the bafflement of the entire TNO fandom.[[/note]]
