** Carl Troeger is based on a reverse[[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Trautmann Bert Trautmann]]. While Trautmann was a soldier turned goalkeeper, Troeger was a goalkeeper turned soldier.

* BalkanizeMe: TheEmpire after the Great War. Most splinter countries desperately want to rejoin Germania due to cultural loyalty, comparative prosperity and military strength, much to Tanya's exasperation.

* HypocriticalHumor: Rather common when Tanya is involved. For example, Tanya heavily favors an intervention in Ildoa's civil war because Muzzioli has all but promised to invade Germania should he succeed and she takes it for granted that he would definitely do it, apparently forgetting that she herself had used the exact same tactic in the past, to the chagrin of her neighbors. When the Francois President not-so-subtly compares Muzzioli to Tanya, the comparison flies straight over her head and she thinks he was talking about some Francois historical figures instead.

** New Amsterdam Governor, later President, Frederick Rosenvelt is one for UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt.

* CassandraTruth: Tanya is trying to warn the nations of Europa about the danger of the Russy Union but her warnings are dismissed by everyone west of Germania.
** Her warnings about increasing tariffs, or printing too much money are largely ignored by her early political oposition, and later the Unified States after the stock market crash.
** She also tries to build an alliance to stop Benedetto Muzzioli's ascent to power only to find no allies willing to intervene in Ildoa, since nobody knows yet that Muzzioli's policy of expansion could start another Great War. As Tanya states, it would only take one idiot to start the next Great War.

* CassandraTruth: Ian Flemons suggested that the purpose of Tanya's alliance with Dacia was to contain the Rus and how she planned to help Dacia building their army. His superior immediately dismissed this possibility.

* TakeThat: We have this gem from Tanya when she (thought she) was tricked to confess her true thoughts by Millicent Caldwell.

** In chapter 21 Tanya muses how she can prevent a Great war as long as she maintains a mostly reasonable policies as it had taken a ridiculuous level of constantly escalating provocations to start the second world war in her previous world. By the next paragraph the Pullskan ambassador suggested reunification between Pullska and Germania to Tanya.
** After the World Cup finished and the civil war in Ildoa seemed to favor the Democratic side Tanya inwardly thought she would be able to serve out an uneventful term as Chancellor and retire in peace. Cue the Francois army storming Ildoa from the north.

* QuantityVsQuality: Tanya has Germania's aerial mages trained to her high standards and thus has fewer mages on the outset of the Ildoan conflict. Francois, having lost a good number of mages in both the Great War and in the Occupation of the Ruhr, opts to supplement their forces with magic-capable colonial troops. The problem is that these troops not only lack training, their math skills (a key part of orb magic) are horrendously deficient, leaving them able to fly a bit, but not much more; to a Germanian force, they're little more than targets. Despite outnumbering their Germanian counterparts at least 4-to-1, when they face off at the North Ildoan-Carinthian border, a Francois aerial mage force is completely wiped out with no mention of any casualties inflicted on the Germanian defenders.

* LandslideElection: After she renegotiates the Treaty of Triano, saves the economy, ousts the communists, dramatically improves the Germanian international standing and much more, Tanya receives 70% votes on her re-election, meaning she and the Germanian Workers Party have total political domination; her people note she can basically run the country anyway she wants. Note that she achieved this despite putting no effort whatsoever into campaigning.

** As much as they fear or are skeptical of Tanya, the Allied Powers allow the Treaty of Triano to be dissolved (much to the Francois' anger) so that Germania and it's military can rebuild itself and act as a buffer against the Rus and Communism.

* TheIlluminati: Elya creates a version that thinks they're an ancient order meant to prop up the Albion empire and fight off it's shadowy enemies, not realizing they're actually a tool of Germanian intelligence gathering.

* VerbalBackspace: While announcing the Francois Republic's defeat over the radio, Tanya states that the only Francois military still operating is their navy, only for Elya to quietly inform her of the blockade's complete destruction, at which point, Tanya declares that the only military operating in Francois is flying the Germanian flag.
