Line 26:
* [[Even Mooks Have Loved Ones]]: One of the Dominic Flandry stories ended with Flandry successfully killing a Merseian agent who'd been stirring up rebellion on a Terran world. Then Flandry wondered if the agent had some children who couldn't understand why their father hadn't come home.
* [[Feudal Future]]: The Terran Empire is more recognisable as using this trope, but the late Polesotechnic league is more literally feudal. Van Rijn at one point speaks of getting an "oath of fealty" from an employee before giving the young fellow a major promotion.
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: Dennitza is based on Serbia to the point of having a descendant of Orthodox Christianity as their chief religion, and Serbian aristocratic titles
**The Polesotechnic League has some likeness to the Hanseatic League.
**The Ythrians are like Medieval Icelanders in their resistance to the idea of a bureaucratic state.
