Tropes used in Well, Mr. Ambassador... include:

Fun with Acronyms: The "Precise Location Over Time" device powering the ship.
Meaningful Name: The SSPS Abrogator; to abrogate is to put an end to something by formal means. The ship does this to voters.
No Name Given: The Captain and The Ambassador are the main characters, representing The New President (and formerly representing The President). Even The Capitol (city) has this issue.
Powered by a Forsaken Child: faster-than-light drive fuel is pieces of condemned criminals.
Punny Name: Hypersian rug; the DAEUS Six Machine
Starship Luxurious: Yep. And how.
Traveling At the Speed of Plot: Or it would, if it worked.
