What if the government existed with a single goal in mind: to make people miserable?
On her tour of different countries, to help her learn about becoming a ruler one day, Princess Navina learns that in Malvolia this is so. The Magog, ruler of Malvolia, has devised a perfect system in which his subjects are miserable... but they don't understand why. It bears a striking resemblance to government in the real world.
The Princess Navina books, with large text and illustrations, are highly amusing and well-written satires of modern-day politics. I enjoyed them as a child without understanding the political aspect, now as an adult I enjoy them both as books and very accurate descriptions and blows against the way our government does things to 'help people'.
