* PreppyName: Drury came up with a bunch of contrived "distinguished" names for various characters that ultimately sound more like they belong in a Creator/StanFreberg comedy sketch, and they get used in the film too (Seabright Cooley, Brig Anderson, Lafe Smith, Harley Hudson, [[TheVonTropeFamily Fred Van Ackerman]], Orrin Knox, Hardiman Fletcher, Powell Hanson).

* StockForeignName: The senator from UsefulNotes/{{Utah}} is named Brigham Anderson, obviously inspired by Brigham Young. In fact, Brigham was never a particularly common first name in Utah, and would've been seen as old-fashioned by Utahns around the time Anderson was born.

* {{Eagleland}}: A decidedly mixed flavor is on display in this series. America is portrayed as well-meaning country that is doing its best to counter the aggression of the Soviets, while at the same time dealing with its own flaws. However, it's often held back by those very flaws which allow terrible people like Fred Van Ackerman and later Ted Jason to infest its government. The American people and media are similarly shown with mixed flavor. Most people and journalists, while biased, are honest and hardworking, but they're overshadowed by groups like [[{{Blackshirt}} NAWAC]] and journalists who are so in favor of peace at any price with the Soviets that they border on being collaborators.
