SOURCES & CORRECTIONS
Every factual joke in the game is traceable to an entry below. Satirical framing is ours; underlying facts
must be sourced. Entries marked Needs review are being re-verified and the related copy is treated
as parody until confirmed. Invented lines spoken by synthetic versions of public figures are always labelled
as invented parody in-game and are listed in the voice-line manifest.
