* AssPull: Surprisingly fitting trope to start with. The amount of these that go on within the forum's roleplays could easily fill several volumes, as many nations create implausible characters, technology and even geography- among many other implausible elements in their nation- all in the interest of creating what they believe is a formidable foe within the RP battlefield.

* GameplayDerailment: As a result of the frequent {{AssPull}}s, {{Utopia}}s and StopHavingFunGuys, roleplaying can get frustrating very quickly. The experience can get really deflating if you're a storyteller roleplaying against another nation who wants to show off their (mostly implausible) "super army".

* {{Utopia}}: The vast majority of the nations on the forum are self-sustaining, resource-rich nations with seemingly limitless wealth, state-of-the-art technology and very few problems, with the utopias often reaching ridiculously unrealistic levels.

* MarySuetopia: Somewhat averted by the game itself, which attempts to indicate that all nation types have their drawbacks, but often played painfully, painfully straight in roleplay.

This is intentional for the sake of surprise; it's still irritating if you're roleplaying.
