Inverted: Tropestan is blatantly part of Eagleland.
Subverted: Tropestan seems to have absorbed a lot of Western culture.
Double Subverted: But it still has a rich Middle-Eastern type culture with lots of traditions of that culture.
Deconstructed: May lead to Unfortunate Implications about the Middle East and its people and religion/culture if not handled correctly.
Reconstructed: The writers have Shown Their Work, and the setting is portrayed like a real Middle-Eastern country.
Parodied: See "Exaggerated"
Zig Zagged: Sometimes Tropestan is portrayed this way, other times not.
Lampshaded: "Sounds like it's in the Middle East."
Averted: Tropestan's culture is more like that of America, Europe, East Asia, etc.
Enforced: "We need to portray the Middle East in a way familiar to Westerners."
Invoked: Alice and Bob are lost in the desert, and find themselves helped out by an Arab Oil Sheikh with an impressive harem of beautiful women.
Defied: Over time, Tropestan has become a very secular country, and taken in a lot of outside influence. Any Middle-Eastern type traditions and culture it had are a thing of the past.
Discussed: "I hear Tropestan is a nice place..."
Conversed: "Why is the Middle East either a paradise of belly-dancers and camels or a Crapsack World of crazy terrorists?"
Played For Laughs: Usually the first type under "Exaggerated"
Played For Drama: The second type under "Exaggerated"
