MacAdder and Blackadder are references to a
British comedy series, though that setting isn't just being dropped in (treat
Blackadder Goes Forth as being a bit more similar to in-universe historical events in WWI than
Dad's Army is to historical
Home Guard units, with the other series often being much further from the truth than that). When I'm more awake, I'll go back and edit in links to the articles on RL British politicians, which I intended to do previously, but forgot (the article does already link to a
list of British governments, but that probably doesn't help a lot).
EDIT: I've done some editing to the article, including adding a sentence that I'd meant to include earlier but forgotten. Still needs more links, but I'm tired, so they'll be added later.
