** When the comic started, the strips continued from each other, but there was no overall plot. As it continued, there were clearer storylines and references to previous strips that tied the whole thing together more. The characters have become more fleshed out and backstory for several countries was revealed. And now, the comic has the main plot of [[spoiler:the war between Ireland and the South Pole]] continuing in the background of other, smaller plots. However, this hasn't made the comic any less [[DadaComics insane]]...
