*[[User:Mathetesalexandrou/Fanon:Al-Dar|Al-Dar]] 's members are based on some of the key members of Al-Qaida (except Omar Qutb): [[User:Mathetesalexandrou/Fanon:Usaim Hamdi|Usaim Hamdi]] is based on Osama bin Laden, who was noted to be a genius and a big fan of outdoors. [[Fanon:Ayham Bahri|Ayham Bahri]] is based on Ayman Al-Zawahiri, who is a qualified surgeon and was a part of the radical group in Egypt aimed at overthrowing the government (hence his Rebellious trait). Anwar Arafat is based on Anwar al-Awlaki, an engineer and a major part in supply aspect.
*The Elect is a parody of the Collective (of Ayn Rand) and some of the characters of Ayn Rand's work, Ray Dann parodying Ayn Rand (his name is a rearrangement of the letters in the name Ayn Rand), Laan Blueshore Alan Greenspan. Lucas Howland is a parody of a typical Objectivist, bookish and rather lazy, and Edith Berry is not a parody of any character or group but simply a plot addition. The musical/band aspect of the Elect stems from Greenspan's ability to play the saxophone and the clarinet.
*[[Fanon:Esomena Protogena|Esomena]] is a homage to the Vocaloids. (and later, the Mathetai Mouson)
*Aedui (or Aidouoi) and the Arverni (or Arbernoi) are two major tribes in Gaul, and the two tribes represented in Europa Barbarorum. Cocolitanos and Aneirin are the names of the two respective leaders at the time of 272. B.C. Aedui household also presents a Gaul of Massalian origins, which is somewhat unhistorical: although Celts were present in or near Massalia, such as the Ligurian tribes, it is highly unlikely that any of them would owe allegiance to either tribes.
*The Patriot Party is based on the Tea Party and the naming based on the characteres of Metal Gear Solid.
*The birthdays of the Beauty 4 characters are reference to the rough equivalent Chaos Gods in the Warhammer (Fantasy and 40K) universe: Achaia's birthday April 3rd serving as an homage to Nurgle (4+3), Thessalonike Khorne (19-11), Kallisto Tzeentch (3*3) and Demetria Slaanesh (16-10). Demetria doesn't necessarily fit the Slaaneshi archetype, as explained on the trivia section of the said sim's page.
*Although [[Fanon:Kallisto Syrakosia|Kallisto]] introduces the idea of [[wikipedia:Cleruchy|Klerouchoi]] to serve as the counterpart to the mercenaries of Dionysios I, the system of Klerouchia was actually an Athenian idea, taken well by the Diadochoi such as the Seleukeis, Ptolemaioi and the Makedones. Katoikioi is a better term for the participants of Kallisto's system (and the system better dubbed Katoikia), since Katoikioi are given dwelling, and no plot of land to put them in upper middle-class.
