* SpaceFillingEmpire: Obviously, considering the source material, except with Australia having been conquered by Britannia. Also discussed by the characters: in the unlikely event that Britannia is defeated and driven from Japan, they're likely to find the EU or the Chinese Federation on their doorstep not too long after.

A petition is sent to her asking for the pardon and release of Japanese prisoners who were peaceful anti-Britannia protesters. If she pardons the prisoners, she wins Japanese support but loses Britannia support. And if she doesn't pardon them, she wins Britannia support but loses Japanese support. So what does Euphie do?

The White Queen, the Iron Heart of Britannia, Euphemia the Just, many are the titles and appellations for Euphemia I, 99th Empress of the Holy Britannian Empire. Her ascension is remarkable not only for the means by which Euphemia obtained the throne but also for those that rose with her or were felled in the process, a process with its share of near failures and deaths.

!!''A Cold Calculus'' contains the following tropes:
* AlternateUniverse: Other than the obvious, this being a fanfic and all, the story has also become something of a World War II analogue, what with the presence of prominent people of the time.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: C.C.'s speaking style, along with quoting Shakespeare.
* AscendedExtra: Naomi Inoue was a bit character mostly remembered for being voiced by KikukoInoue and dying at the end of Season 1. Here, she's the most prominent member of the resistance group after Kallen with great prominence in the Refrain Arc and being the point person with the Six Houses.
* DecadentCourt: While not shown much in the story proper, the existence of it shows in how Euphie weighs her actions when it comes to dealing with Britannian nobility.
* EasyLogistics: Totally averted. Attention is paid to logistics for everyone, from the resistance cell being nearly bone dry after the Shinjuku incident to the Keio Hospital's own lack of anything (to the point where they have to turn away a number of people, even if they don't want to, simply because they don't have anything to help them with) up until it gets support from the Britannians and the Sumeragi Group.
** This also goes a bit more into adjustments made from canon. The role of knightmare frames are reduced due to the logistical problems of fielding them in the numbers seen in the show, so those are reduced with the role of infantry and the other branches of the military beefed up.
* FictionalDocument: Every chapter begins with an excerpt from an in-universe book, ''Towards a New Dawn: The Rise of Euphemia I''. Some of them are innocuous details that nonetheless help with the world building, such as Britannian succession procedures and Euphie's patronage of a Japanese artist.

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein Albert Einstein]] also gets a mention as being Nina's grandfather.
* LensmanArmsRace: Something prominent in the original anime that the author says will be outright disregarded as a more realistic rate of development will be followed. As such, Britannia will still be making use of Sutherlands and Gloucesters up to the story's end.
** Indeed, a chapter with the European Union shows Marshals Juin and Rommel observing a weapons test for the Panzer Hummel, with the two noting how it will be years before said frames will be fielded in any significant number.
