The Moon Maid/Moon Men

Edgar Rice Burroughs published in the early 1920s "The Moon Maid" and "The Moon Men", envisioning a 20th-century in which "The Great War" would have gone on uninterrupted, though with varying intensity, from 1914 and until 1967 – ending with the total victory of the Anglo-Saxon Powers, Britain and the US, and the complete defeat and surrender of all other powers. Britain and the US thereupon become co-rulers of the planet, London and Washington being the twin planetary capitals and the US President and British Monarch acting as co-rulers, and with the British-American domination of the world imposed by the International Peace Fleet, made up of airships. In the first decades of the 21st century, the world basks in peace, there seems no enemy and no threat anywhere, and pressure grows for complete disarmament and scrapping of the International Peace Fleet. It is the (unnamed) King of Britain who strongly resists this pressure, and due to him half of the Fleet and of the world's armament industries are retained.

This is not enough to resist the invasion fleet of the wild Kalkars from the Moon, led by the renegade Earthman Orthis, which suddenly descends on the world in 2050, capturing London and Washington and ranging the world at will. But by the British King's foresight there was still a remnant of the Fleet in existence, which kills the renegade Orthis – facilitating humanity's eventual liberation from Kalkar domination, though only centuries later.

The Grand Vizier, Lord Hong, attempted to install himself as Emperor by orchestrating a revolution by the ineffective Red Army (mostly consisting of children held back by Agatean respect for authority) and leading the subsequent counter-revolution; he then becomes leader of the armies of the five noble families in a brief war against the Silver Horde.
• Cohen the Barbarian conquers the Agatean Empire in Interesting Times with the Silver Horde as part of his retirement plan, adopting the regnal name Ghengis Cohen. However, he and his allies abandon it in The Last Hero in order to exact revenge on the Discworld gods at Dunmanifestin for allowing heroes to grow old and die.

Guards!, the Unique and Supreme Lodge of the Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night overthrow the Patrican, Havelock Vetinari, and install a false pretender (a distant cousin of the lodge master who is not part of the Ankh-Morporkian royal bloodline) as puppet king. This is arranged by the summoning of a dragon (with the use of a book stolen from the Library of the Unseen University) and its subsequent banishment by the pretender. The pretender is readily adopted by the Ankh-Morporkian citizenry as their king despite not knowing his name, 'Rex Vivat' being his assumed name as it was on all of the royal banners. The false king was killed by the dragon shortly after being crowned.
• Dragon

• Corporal Cecil Wormsborough St. John 'Nobby' Nobbs
  • A member of the City Watch, he may or may not be an illegitimate member of the de Nobbes family and the great-grandson of the last Earl of Ankh (making him second-in-line to the Ankh-Morpork throne after Captain Carrot). His potential relationship to the de Nobbes family was revealed up in Feet of Clay as part of a plot to restore the monarchy with the Guilds and the ruling families liking to replace Lord Vetinari with a puppet but ultimately with Dragon, King of Arms (the city's chief heraldry expert and vampire) wishing to prevent Captain Carrot producing a future part-werewolf royal line with his girlfield Sergeant Angua. Commander Vimes reasoned that, given how the Nobbses stole so many things over the years (possibly including the de Nobbes arms ring), Nobby could be proven to be 'the Duke of Pseudopolis, the Serif of Klatch and the Dowager Duchess of Quirm'; however, Nobby later reveals that his family possesses a larger collection of noble jewels which could prove his noble ancestry.
