I like to think Recess takes place in a timeline where the Cold War partially escalated. There's dialogue throughout the show that speaks to an ongoing Soviet menace ("I say we tell Finster he's a communist!"; "That's how we're gonna beat the commies!"; "This is Boris Sputnik. I spy for the enemy."; "From the rubble of the Eastern Bloc..."), there's random supercomputers and superweapons laying around, the public school system is run like an extension of the military (perhaps the whole government is), and the elementary school students are trained in drill formation as if the need for soldiers is continuous.
