- Russlo's national emblem is an Arm and Hammer. It is prominently featured on the national flag and on military vehicles.
- "World Destroyer" = two rocket-powered giant tanks dragging an enormous length of chain between them. It creates a swath of demolition, about two city blocks wide, at high speeds. The chain can be electrified.
- Somewhere inside the borders of Russlo, wherever it ran out of fuel, the "World Destroyer" is still intact.
