None of its characters portrays any 'real life' person whatsoever, either living or dead. There is no country quite like Pharamaul, anywhere in the world. There is no Governor like Sir Elliott Vere- Toombs, no Resident like Andrew Macmillan. In particular, there is no ministry anything like the Scheduled Territories Office. Its nearest relative would be a synthesis of the Foreign Office, the Commonwealth Relations Office, the Colonial Office, and the ministry of Works - in fact, a unique hybrid.
