* AliensNeverInventedDemocracy: Emperor Ming rules not only his homeworld of Mongo, but subjugates several neighboring worlds as well, organized roughly like fiefdoms. Ming shrewdly encourages these worlds to fight among themselves to curry his favor, as it weakens their defenses and confounds efforts to overthrow him. After he's overthrown, the former empire becomes the United Republics of Mongo with an elected council (at least until the 2023 {{Reboot}}), but since Flash and Zarkov are heavily involved in the reconstruction, it's not clear how much the influence of Earthers was involved in this.

* ContinuityReboot: After decades of Barin and Aura as the President and First Lady of the United Republics of Mongo, with Ming either dead or skulking in the background, Dan Schkade's run opens with Flash's final assault on Ming, after which Barin is expected to reclaim the ''throne'' and marry Aura.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Vultan of the Hawkmen is generally thought of as Flash's heroic ally by the fans (and most adaptations), albeit in a ProudWarriorRaceGuy sort of way. In the original newspaper comic, he is introduced as one of Ming's semi-loyal vassals, and arguably even more sadistic and murderous than the Emperor himself, with his ''onscreen'' atrocities including torturing Flash and [[DomesticAbuse beating]] and sexually abusing Dale. This is before his HeelFace turn, of course.

* PlanetBaron: Ming the Merciless is an [[UnbuiltTrope early]] example. Despite his claims to emperorship over the planet Mongo, his regime is still contested by the rightful ruler, Prince Barin, as well as a number of other less powerful royal contenders, such as King Vultan and his Hawkmen, Queen Fria of Frigia, King Kala of the Shark Men, and so on. The situation is so unstable that a single [[PunyEarthling earthman]], his girlfriend, and a MadScientist entering into the equation results in the rise of an organized resistance against him, eventually leading to his downfall.

''Flash Gordon'' is a classic science fiction comic first written and drawn by Alex Raymond in 1934 and published by Creator/KingFeaturesSyndicate. It tells the story of Flash Gordon, an athlete who travels with reporter Dale Arden and Dr Hans Zarkov in a rocket Zarkov built to the planet Mongo, ruled by [[YellowPeril Ming the Merciless]] (Literature/FuManchu [[AC:[[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE]]]]). Flash sets to incite revolution. But wait! Dale is in love with him, and so is [[DaddysLittleVillain Princess Aura!]] They are aided by Prince Barin of Arboria, Prince Vultan of the Hawkmen and Queen Desira of Tropica. Later stories featured Flash and company traveling to other planets, but the Mongo story arc is by far the most famous.
