* ''VideoGame/{{Transistor}}'': The words "The Country" pop up repeatedly throughout the story, in reference to a place where people go and never return from. Sounds innocuous at first, but it takes on a darker meaning if you recall Hamlet, and then consider why people might be "evacuating to the Country" ahead of the Process. It's a DeadlyEuphemism.
