Symbols used: ⚓ (exists IRL), 🌎 (genericized<ref>I am using the symbol 🌎 to indicate when a term that originated as a trademark is used as a generic term in the text. Many of these are trademarks that have expired or been legally genericized, but many of them are not.</ref>), 🔄 (expy), ✨ (fictional).

==Honourable mentions==
* The '''University''' (first appears in Pact: Collateral 4.2) - the unnamed university in Toronto where Isadora works. Though always capitalized, the University is never named. It could be an expy of any of the five universities in Toronto, or may be entirely fictional.
*'''CAS''' (Children's Aid Society) is a ''type'' of organization. Normally, both IRL and in the text, one refers to the CAS without any need to specify ''which'' CAS is being referred to. However, we can make some inferences based on geography, noting that this may not apply within the fictional Otherverse:
**'''Highland Shores Children's Aid''' is the local CAS for the IRL area where Jacob's Bell is probably located (mentioned in Signature 8.1<ref>"'I'm going to call the CAS, given your situation-'. Lola approached the principal and the Briar Girl." - Signature 8.1</ref>).
**'''The Children's Aid Society of the District of Thunder Bay''' covers the IRL area where Kennet is probably located (first mentioned in One After Another 10.4<ref>"'No need.  That’s great.  So hi, I’m David, I’m from CAS.  Do you know what that means?  CAS?'" - One After Another 10.4</ref>).
* '''Dudley Donut''', used in Mala Fide 10.x as an insulting nickname for Duncan Behaim, may be a reference to Dunkin' Donuts (?)
*'''Princess Lilyhugs''' (Poke: Fourth) - a "Princess Lilyhugs lamp" is a thing that exists in-universe, but who or what Princess Lilyhugs is, is not stated. I'd guess that it's some sort of fictional goblin Disney Princess type character, but it could be the fictional company that made the lamp?
*The '''S.K.''' (Pact: Duress 12.1) - some kind of spy operative entity
