There's a rapper named Machiavelli too but I think it's spelled alternatively.

The Prince was satire, Machiavelli was a proponent of democracy and wrote numerous entries on the matter.

Its likely but I'm not sure I agree with the "they didn't know what the EU was" bit. I feel the spike in brit-side 'what is the EU' google were likely kids whose parents were discussing the referendum in the household.
