Discworld/Jingo/YMMV

• Anvilicious: A mild example, but it stands out from other Discworld stories involving ethnic conflicts such as Men At Arms, Thud! and Monstrous Regiment in that it explicitly uses a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of the Islamic world (Klatch) rather than shifting it to dwarfs and trolls and so forth.

• Hilarious in Hindsight: A similar dispute between India and Bangladesh over New Moore / South Talpatti Island was resolved in March 2010, when the sea rose and covered it.
• Positive Discrimination: Played straight and subverted - The Morporkian high command is comprised entirely of Upper Class Twits, while Prince Cadram is entirely competent. His brother, Prince Khufurah, on the other hand, is a street-wise but rather incompetent buffoon.
• The Woobie: Poor Captain Jenkins, whose ship Vimes commandeers and then proceeds to basically smash to smithereens, on account of the fact that Vimes knows absolutely nothing about sailing. Jenkins was planning on selling weapons to the Klatchians, but still...
