It symbolizes a controlling, perhaps oppressive, stronghold of these alternate Ricks' collective power. The Citadel explores themes of authority, individuality, and conformity, and serves as a backdrop for complex interactions among multiple Ricks and Mortys, highlighting the show's blend of satire, science fiction, and philosophical questions about identity and governance.
