'''Basic Trope''': A society with ''serious'' issues, thus not a nice place to live in.

* '''Deconstructed''':
** Central Committee Directorate of Ubiquitousanti is so powerful that nothing can ever challenge it. The author shows that if nothing can challenge it, there isn't any [[Conflict]] and no real plot can happen.
Line 25:
** The work is an obvious propaganda piece; Ubiquitousanti is a [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]] of [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|certain real-world countries the author's government plan to invade]].
* '''Lampshaded''':
** "[[Monty Python and
** Dystopian literature exists in this world, and there is a [[Genre Savvy]] character who is familiar with and references it.
* '''Invoked''': An [[Evil Overlord]] plans to [[Take Over the World]] to [[Dystopia Justifies the Means|institute one of these]].
Line 34:
* '''Played For Drama''': Ubiquitousanti as a setting for [[Cyberpunk]].
