Absolutely. ^_^
For my plot, a lot of it is inspired by Nineteen Eighty-Four, V For Vendetta, and the power struggle in the Soviet Union after Stalin's death. The use of an Oligarchy rather than a single figurehead/ruler is done primarily as a plot device for later in the story. The characters are mainly inspired by people I meet everyday, having their personalities meshed together and adapted to the situation of the story.
