Short summary

The twin provinces of Applesauce-Lorraine (lying somewhere between France and Baja, California) is a spoof of the oft-disputed territory of Alsace-Lorraine (between France and Germany).

The Alsace-Lorraine region lies along the French-German border and has switched hands many times throughout history. (France annexed the territory from the Germanic Holy Roman Empire in the 1600s in order to secure its natural geographic boundaries. The German Empire took it back for the purpose of ethnic consolidation after the Franco-Prussian War in the 1800s. France regained the territory after Germany's defeat in World War I. Nazi Germany took control during World War II, but the region reverted back to France after the Allied victory.)

The name of the tyrannical ruler of Applesauce-Lorraine, François Villain, is a spoof of medieval French poet and rogue François Villon, who has been portrayed on screen (in fictionalized accounts of his life) by William Farnum in If I Were King (1920), John Barrymore in The Beloved Rogue (1927), Dennis King in The Vagabond King (1930), Ronald Colman in If I Were King (1938), and Oreste Kirkop in The Vagabond King (1956).
