* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Nikoladze and Georgia appear to be an expy of Slobodan Milosevic and his rump Yugoslavia respectively, albeit [[ExaggeratedTrope taken to eleven]]. Azerbaijan fills in the role of Kosovo (a mostly Islamic nation being persecuted by a primarily Eastern Orthodox one), being brutalized by Nikoladze and his army, prompting international intervention as happened in reality. Given that the Kosovar War happened a few years before the game's release, it's not that surprising.

*AnachronismStew: The American soldiers seen in the news cutscenes look more at home in the early 1980s than the early 2000s. Although the US Army at both times wore Woodland pattern Battle Dress Uniforms, the soldiers in the game wear helmets resembling M1 steel pot helmets and Vietnam War style flak jackets as opposed to the PASGT helmet and vest that was actually worn around the time of the game's release and setting.

Sam Fisher, a former Navy SEAL and CIA operative, is brought out of retirement by his old commander, Irving Lambert, to take part in a new NSA initiative called Third Echelon, a black-ops program involving the insertion of a single operative into sensitive, high-security situations to gather intel and, where necessary, neutralize targets, all without being seen or heard. For his first mission as part of Third Echelon, Sam is sent in UsefulNotes/{{Georgia|Europe}} to investigate the activities of the country's shady president, Kombayn Nikoladze. In doing so, he uncovers a large terrorist conspiracy that reaches as far as East Asia and poses a major threat to U.S. security and world peace, and he must thwart it before it's too late.

A few seconds past MissionControl describing the cops "as crooked as a Virginia fence", Sam overhears two cops KickTheDog by harassing and threatening a drunkard. You can also find an email in the level noting a corpse with a skull caved in by what appears to be the same sorts of batons those police carry.
