* [[Aerith and Bob]]: In the land of Maradonia, you have names like Astrodoulos, Apollyon, and Abbadon. There is also a military commander named Justin, and his father, Kerry.
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Alana Terence, since she is "part of the 'Gothic Movement'", which makes her automatically evil.
Line 13 ⟶ 11:
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Tesch seems to be a fan of these. Among them we have "final end" and "irrationally confused".
* [[Doorstopper]]: All three books are about 820 pages each.
* [[The Empire]]: [[Exactly What It Says
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]] : In the second book, ''Maradonia and the Gold of Ophir'' (pre-split edition), Maya becomes Queen of Maradonia and develops a fondness for mass executions without trial.
* [[Ice Cream Koan]]: Joey spews many, many of them.
Line 20 ⟶ 18:
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: Flying saucers that fire blindness-causing rays and ocean liners co-exist with pre-gunpowder weaponry, horse-drawn vehicles, and a general vaguely late-Medieval/Renaissance atmosphere. Actually, gunpowder (Schwartz Pulver) has been invented by the Big Bads and is used to collapse the walls of castles, but there are no cannons, and the good guys make no attempt to make their own gunpowder. This juxtaposition has no in-work explanation.
* [[Trilogy Creep]]: The Maradonia trilogy, as the author still calls it, will be made up of nine books. It was apparently always planned to be a trilogy, but then Tesch suddenly said that it was always planned to be nine books. [[Nineteen Eighty-Four|The Maradonia Saga has nine books. The Maradonia Saga has always had nine books.]] It's really only six when you get down to it. She just split the first three books into halves, and now has to write three more.
* [[Vanity Publishing]]: How it all came to be. More likely self-publishing, as "Liberty's Book Press" publishes this and no other known works. Tesch thinks there's going to be a Maradonia movie and themepark. [http://twitter.com/maradoniasaga No, seriously].{{Dead link}}
* [[Video Review Show]]: SwankiVY, well known for her [http://swankivy.com/writing/essays/info/inheritance/eragon.html unflattering review] of Eragon, has recently done a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEVX_L6Zsfg review of the Maradonia book trailer and the series as a whole.]
* [[A Wizard Did It]]: The actual land of Maradonia is tacked on somewhere to the rest of the USA. Apparently both nations failed to notice each other because of magic.
