- Audience-Alienating Premise: The "heroes" rebel against the US government in the name of forming their own country so they can murder non-white and gay people with impunity. Needless to say, this alienates all except for the very tiny white supremacy niche.
- Designated Hero: Not surprising given that it's a white supremacist Author Tract. Like its predecessor The Turner Diaries, the book expects the readers to root for the protagonists to succeed in overthrowing the government and committing genocide on all non-white people. Every member of the NVA shown is a cold-blooded killer and terrorist with essentially no redeeming qualities beyond their genuine camaraderie - even their refusal to kill children is pure Pragmatic Villainy rather than any sort of moral standard.
- Fridge Logic:
- How do the White Nationalists not get sanctioned and cut off to hell by the rump US? It is stated the US is in decline and whatnot, but a few assassinations of oil barons will not fix the problem of being blockaded and sanctioned to all shit or left to starve. And the US will be able to spare a few fleets to blockade the northwest front, even if it's bleeding itself to death in southwest Asia and north Africa fighting Muslims.
- How do they deal with non-white diplomats in their territory? Granted, that "kill on sight" ended when the war did but there would be weirdness still with that.
- Any power with a bunch of non-white diplomats probably has enough common sense to NOT assign them to the NAR. It'll be next to impossible even if the NAR does give them diplomatic immunity as they still have to deal with the "kill on sight" policy. Any predominantly-non-white nation would probably form a protecting power agreement with a white nation to represent its interests in the NAR.
- Nightmare Fuel: Girls are conscripted into the labor force at 16. Literally, in order to increase the birthrate, the NAR passes laws to pressure 16-year-old white girls to get married and pregnant so they don't end up "sent to work in a tuna cannery in Alaska". (Note they claim to be a vaguely libertarian country.)
