Princess Navina Visits Malvolia

The first book of the series describes a country (Mal=evil, volio=wish) where the rulers seek “the greatest misery for the greatest number.” To this end, they have adopted policies to undermine economic incentives, destroy families, weaken character, and increase social tension. The crowning achievement of the politicos is a “prosperity fine,” a punishment levied on citizens for earning money. And–you guessed it–the fine is proportional: the more you earn, the higher the fine. The whole idea is to discourage people from working, saving, investing–an excellent foundation for misery. Readers will thank their lucky stars that they live in a country where politicians seek to help, not hurt, citizens!
