* ShamingTheMob: After being finally invited to Powhatan's Sugarloaf Mountain fortress, Gordon quickly realizes lies about the Restored United States won't work here. Instead he ditches all the speeches prepared in advance and calls everyone there out [[ApatheticCitizens on their indifference and lack of action]], when they have all the means and skills needed for the fight against Holnists and how things will turn out if they won't help their neighbors.

His goal is to secure as much ground and assets as possible to maintain his power and also disrupt as much as he can the new reconstruction effort in Oregon.

* UnspecifiedApocalypse: The details are intentionally kept vague, but it's relatively easy to figure out that whatever the Doomwar was about, it ended up with limited nuclear exchange, combined with high-altitude detonations (thus EMP) and biological agents were also used. However, ''neither'' of those knocked the government or civilisation as such down. Instead it was result of the various mobs that formed in the aftermath of war, some of which actively and deliberately harassed and destroyed any efforts at reconstruction they came across, further combined with indifference of people not affected directly. The letters Gordon finds in the van clearly indicate that things were struggling, but somewhat still normal ''three years'' after the Doomwar and he was himself a guardsman in the National Guard some two years after the war. All this uncertainty is used as a plot-point, since in the end, it doesn't really matter and people have to come to terms with it if they didn't already.
