Basic Trope: A locations state tells us about its ruler.

  • Straight: When King Bob XI is in control, Troperia is a paradise where there is plentiful harvests and food to go along, and the court isn't corrupt. However the second Emperor Evulz takes control, the crops become rotton, there's mass famine everywhere, and the court only helps themselves.
  • Exaggerated: Troperia was a Sugar Bowl when Bob is in control, the second Evulz takes control, it turns into a Crapsack World.
  • Downplayed: Evulz tries to appease the citizens, but because he is self-serving, the state of Troperia could always be better.
  • Justified: In Tales of Troperia The Powers That Be will location will change based off of it's ruler
  • Inverted: When King Bob XI is in control, the crops become rotton, there's mass famine everywhere, and the court only helps themselves. However the second Emperor Evulz takes control, Troperia becomes a paradise where there is plentiful harvests and food to go along, and the court isn't corrupt.
  • Subverted: Alice and Claire visit Troperia after Evulz took over, only to find that it was even better than when Bob was under control, they wonder why do they have to save him, and as such, they leave the kingdom.
  • Double Subverted: They soon meet Daniel, a peasant who tells them the actual state of Troperia, they have only visited the outer city, and within the castle walls, it is worse than what they see on the outside.
