- The 2008 Black Box, Coup d'etat, examines the production of foie gras, a well-known French delicacy. Foie Gras means Fat Liver, an apt name as ducks and geese are force fed corn mash until their livers are up to ten times their normal size. In typical Black Box fashion, the tables are turned. Five ducks take revenge by force feeding Master Carver Peter Calvesbert. One of the sacks of corn is labelled Liverburst (a play on the name of the German sausage). This can be the unfortunate consequence of force feeding. France consumes 80% of the worlds foie gras, thus the inscription France and 80 on the lid. Upon the base are names of countries that have prohibited its production, and Arny 2012 refers to Mr. Schwarzenegger and his intention to ban foie gras in California by that year. The interior shows a goose working out. Evidently, he is worried about the weight hes putting on.

- NOTE: Because Harmony Kingdom is handmade, individual box figurines may exhibit slight variations. While the artisans do their best to ensure that Harmony Kingdom boxes look seamless, many pieces do look like two-piece figurines.
- Harmony Kingdoms artists often conceal a small motif on the box figurines they carve as a sort of signature. This identifies the piece as being their work and adds to the Secrets of the Kingdom. David Lawrence uses an acorn on most of his box figurines, and Peter Calvesbert uses a mouse. Many collectors enjoy searching for these small, hidden symbols of the artists.
