* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: Iraq was originally ruled by the authoritarian pro-Axis Golden Square Party, but a revolution broke out on July 14th, 1958, toppling the GSP. However, the revolution soon collapsed into anarchy, as the rebels of all different kinds of ideologies turned on each other. It took Qasim making a coup and creating his own government to put things back on track again.

* StateSec: The political battlefield of Italian Palestine is divided between numerous paramilitaries of various ideologies, both Jewish and Arab. The most prominent moderate groups are the Jewish Haganah and Palestinian Fatah, both of whom are more willing to negotiate with the Italians; they don't get along with each other well, however. There are also more radical groups; they are the revisionist Zionist Irgun and predominately leftist Arab Nationalist Movement. They see negotiation with the Italians as pointless, and mostly try to gain independence through violence and terrorism. Needless to say, they aren't very fond of each other, either.

* InSpiteOfANail: As Italy took in a lot of Jews during the German-Italian split, Zionism still exists in TNO. The Governatorato thus has to manage the Jews and the local Palestinians, who are at each other's throats, just as in real life.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Iraq can go from a small sidelined country to the [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/412766173789421579/510272461816725504/11iraquar.jpg United Arab Republic]], spanning across all of North Africa and the Middle East.
* OutOfGenreExperience: Iraq's initial crisis tree involves the investigation of the death of previous president Rashid Ali al-Gaylani. This section plays more like a detective game than a grand strategy game, where the player must collect evidence and come to a conclusion on who killed al-Gaylani.

%%* CivilWar: A three-sided civil war can break out between the authoritarian Golden Square Party government, the democratic July 14 Movement, and the populist Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party.

* {{Retcon}}: In the diary dedicated to the Italian colonies, Mattei was initially portrayed as an EvilColonialist governor of Italian East Africa (which was a very [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade liberal]] interpretation of the real Mattei). As development went on, Mattei instead became a potential governor of the Italian Gulf after an Italian victory in the Italo-Turkish war, ruling his domain in a far more reasonable manner.

* EliteArmy: The armed forces of the Italian Levant are composed by the finest veterans of the Italian sphere, who are accustomed to fighting in the Middle East thanks to the constant rebellions launched by both Zionists and Arab nationalists.

* StateSec: The political battlefield of Italian Palestine is divided between numerous paramilitaries of various shades on both sides of the conflict. On the more moderate side, there are Jewish Haganah and Palestinian Fatah, each of whose takes a more compromissable stance towards the Italian colonial government but are very reluctant to make concessions to each other. On the extremist side, there are revisionist Zionist Irgun and dominantly leftist Arab Nationalist Movement who reject the possibility of a peaceful resolution with the Italians and fight for independence through means of violence and terror. Needless to say, the latter two groups aren't very fond of each other, either.
