You can tell Discworld is a fantasy series because the City Watch is committed to protecting and serving the people, to the extent where orders from the government are disobeyed and disregarded because they infringe on the peoples’ rights. The cops say “we’re officers of the law, not soldiers of the government” and mean it. During a revolution, the police fought against the government because the government was hurting the people. Also trolls and dwarves.
