YMMV / Esquarium

• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Geadland's election results, published in June 2013, turned out to closely mirror the results of a RL election in Norway which was held three months later.
  • On July 25th 2015, Namor and Qianrong released a series of articles in which it was revealed that ASQ terrorists had covered up the death of ASQ leader Ngo Huu Tra in June. Four days later, on July 29th, the Afghan government revealed that the leadership of the Taliban had covered up the death of leader Mullah Omar for nearly two years.
  • The fall of a major Qianrongese city to a different rebel group in Esquarium was followed shortly by the Taliban capturing the strategic town on Kunduz.
• The Woobie:
  • The Swedish Vyvlanders, who were brutally forced out of their homeland by a fascist dictator. Those who escaped to Geadland still faced many problems, including crime, poverty and a devastating flood in 1955.
  • The Shudri experienced consistent discrimination by people and various governments over many generations.
  • The Zelenagorans (descendants of Katranjian settlers in Abishag) in the fascist era have endured persecution, forced Gaelicization, and even outright genocide.
