Possible KND/The Who connection: The Dodgeball Wizard may have been a reference to the Who song Pinball Wizard.

I don't know. Possibly Latvian Statue of Liberty: Treehouse could also be partially made by amber (a rare jewel, not so rare in Latvia) Maybe Lielvārdes Josta (Lielvardian Belt): Lielvārde is a city in Latvia. Lielvardian Belt is a belt (for a folk costume), with something written on it, nobody has really decoded, what it says.
