Public Service
This narrative has as one of its central themes the nature of politicians. The job of a public servant is to take care of their constituents. Ironically, we watch as the only people taken care of are the politicians. Instead of serving the people, they serve themselves.
Sunglasses
We watch as the Queen and her subordinates wear sunglasses, which is a sign to them that they are important and progressive. Ironically, Abivara upon his return home to the Naga tribe states that the only people who wore sunglasses outside of the beach were gangsters.
Debate
The President of Parliament tells Abisavam that he cannot debate with him. Ironically, the President hasn't attempted to debate with him at all, he only wants Abisavam to do what he tells him to do and have no opinion on the matter at all.
Guilt
Many of the executives that have torn lands away from indigenous tribes and ruined cities with industrialization have come to feel guilty about what they've done and thus retreat at Big Boss' new religious meditation center on his mountain. Ironically, Big Boss, an international millionaire has been able to create a new business charging exorbitant amounts of money to these men in order to cure their guilt and get them back into the world. The sick are healing the sick.
Progress
The Queen says that she desires progress in her kingdom, as she doesn't want to be left behind by industrialized countries. Ironically, progress to her looks like plastic surgery hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and stripping indigenous land for profit. All of her progress is merely vanity.
