* ExtremelyLengthyCreation: Lind had been working on ''Victoria'' at least since the mid-1990s when it was finally released in 2014.
* RealitySubtext: A lot of the book's rants against the Modern US Marine corps, especially the first chapter were Rumford is kicked out, is cast in a different light when one learns that William Lind was personally banned from [[https://www.google.com/books/edition/Warfighting_and_Disruptive_Technologies/l8qPAgAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=krulak+banned+lind&pg=PA91&printsec=frontcove Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory due to his behavior.]]
* WriteWhatYouKnow: William Lind ("Thomas Hobbes") is a former Senate staffer and military theorist in real life, and most famous as one of the originators of the "Fourth Generation Warfare" theory that advocated intermingling politics and military affairs, and especially this sort of irregular warfare plays a prominent part in ''Victoria''--though Lind also exaggerates and dramatizes things to push his own agenda, and adds science fiction elements to his near-future setting. However, it should be noted in regards of his military theories that he has never served in the armed forces in any capacity, his military theories were all disproven by the Gulf War, and most people in military circles consider him a hack, if they even know about him.

** Some fans sometimes refer to Rumford as "Rumlind" (a portmanteau of his name and the author's), since they consider him an AuthorAvatar.
** Others refer to Governor Kraft as "Fuhrer Kraft", in apparent homage to [[PuttingOnTheReich Fuhrer Bradley]] in ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist''. And at least one fan also calls him "Kaiser Billy."

* BackedByThePentagon: Averted, since unlike Creator/TomClancy (who received a lot of assistance from the US Armed Forces when writing his books), the author is an avowed isolationist and archenemy of the Military-Industrial Complex.
