* FictionalSport: Averted. "Duemila" or "Megaton" is explicitly stated in the comic to be based on the Italian "calcio storico", a primitive form of football still occasionally played in Italy, especially in Florence, which is basically a cross between rugby and mixed martial arts (any means of tackling an opponent is legitimate except for sucker punching and kicks to the head, and any player can attack any player on the opposing team whether they have the ball or not).
