Trivia
- The song "Hopscotch" is apparently inspired by Julio Cortázar's novel Hopscotch and includes lyrics written in Gliglish, the constructed language La Maga teaches Horacio.[1]
- "Hopscotch, pt. 2" references both Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky and the Grimm Brothers' White and Black Bride

gollark: That makes sense, because the economy is of course just some abstract bunch of numbers which go up and down and not at all to do with stuff like "producing food" and "running hospitals".
