* {{Anvilicious}}: The game's message that "Oil companies are bad!" is very, very obvious. That the green ending is done by doing the bare minimum so you won't get fired really hammers the message in.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSczC7R_x98 The title theme]] is a short but fun tune that captures the essence of a corrupt business perfectly in an old-timey western way.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Gee, absolutely *nothing* of major geopolitical importance happens without you messing
around, does it? Let's just say that this game really, *really* couldn't give a damn about a lot of the complexities of recent history and [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment leave it at that.]]



* CultClassic: Despite being kinda heavy-handed, as mentioned above, the game is well-regarded as far as flash games go.
