- Titanica is the sworn enemy of Marineville.
- Phones lists New York, San Francisco, Marineville, or "any other city or base around the coast" when suggesting potential targets for Titan.
- Atlanta is contacted directly from World Government House and informed the World President and his top-level advisors are on their way for an emergency conference following the issuing of Titan's ultimatum.
- Titan uses plastic seaweed to conceal the entrance to his underwater base but it is discovered when some of the seaweed is found on Stingray's hull.
- Time in Titanica is an hour behind Marineville "in this period of the year", explaining why Troy and Phones were able to escape the explosion of Sunburst unharmed despite overrunning their seven hour time limit.
