How NOT to rule a country!
I decided to write this a bit differently and it's in script form. Just thought it'd be a bit easier to write.
Mario and Luigi were relaxing at Peach's castle, minding their own business when a Toad ran into the castle.
Toad: MARIO! LUIGI! The princess has been kidnapped!
Mario: Bowser doesn't know when to stop doesn't her? We're on our way! Perhaps we'll get a cake!
Luigi: Yum! A peachy cake! His drool practically overflowed the moat.
But, while they were going to the Dark Land Border, they both suddenly thought about something interesting.
Mario: I wonder what Bowser does when he doesn't kidnap peach. Does he torture the citizens or does he do other things? I really need to know!
Luigi: We have time, so, why don't we?
Luigi got out his phone and within a couple of hours, they arrived in the Dark Land capital, there were lots of people doing their daily duties.
Mario got out a random notepad and strolled onto a beach, walked to the sea and turned around to face the promenade.
Luigi: Ooh! A pizza house! An arcade! Look Mario! rainbow Pastel Skyscrapers! This place is amazing! Wonder who designed this?
Luigi started taking pictures of the amazing scenery, ready to wow the toads once they got back
Mario: this is the absolute opposite of what I thought I'd see, this is beautiful.
Mario wrote about all the things they saw and Luigi walked off to snap more shots.
They decided to see some more when they stepped near a sunbathing Koopa. They decided to get some info about what living in Dark land is really like.
Mario tapped on his shoulder to get his attention.
Koopa: Babe, did you get that ice cream yet?
The Koopa opened his eyes and screamed.
Koopa: SCREAM! IT'S THE MARIO BROTHERS!
This sent the entire beach into hysterics with everyone screaming
Mario + Luigi: Relax! Relax! We don't want to hurt you, we want to ask you some questions
Koopa: oh.
Mario: 1. Do you work for Bowser?
2. What is your annual salary?
3. What is working for bowser like?
4. What is living in Dark land like?
Koopa: alright then,
1. Yes
2. 45,000 DP (Dark Land Pound) which is about 450,000 coins#]
3. It's good actually, Insurance for all kinds of things and he even does Pizza night every Friday.
4. We get low taxes and free healthcare from a VAT on food and the city is clean and all buildings are built to high quality, there are even no potholes and smooth roads.
Mario: Thanks sir. 450,000 coins though! That's 200,000 more than Peach pays the toad guards!
Luigi: let's go.
Mario and Luigi explored Dark Land and some of their islands and it was all in good condition. They remembered to go to Bowser's castle to rescue peach which they did.
They took a shortcut through a residential area and found Bowser's castle in the Northern city.
They eventually found Peach and found her playing hide and seek with the Koopalings.
Mario: Peach! We've come for you!
Luigi: You're safe now… what are you doing?
Peach: Hide and seek. Thanks Mario and Luigi! Let's go back now. Koopalings! I'm off now!
Koopalings: Bye Peach
Jr: Bye mama peach!
Mario and Luigi went back to the Mushroom Kingdom and Peach decided to go shopping.
Mario: Luigi.
Luigi: What?
Mario: I want to see what Peach does and compare them.
The two heroes went into peach's office and the first thing that caught their eye was a massive stack of papers. They were all complaints from the people of the Mushroom Kingdom! There were numerous complaints dating back to 1999, some of them were shoddy buildings, crime, terrible road maintenance (potholes, cracks and other stiff) and even pollution in the air and lakes.
Mario looked at the tax money sheet which was 6x higher than Dark Land's and they were able to connect the dots.
Luigi: I can't believe it, she's taking our money and spending it on herself! Look at all her expensive dresses and expensive castle. She had to have got the money for that off somewhere! And it happened to be the people of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Mario: It says here she hasn't spent any significant amount of money on ANYONE or ANYTHING since she came into power.
Mario + Luigi: That's why the Mushroom Kingdom is so bad. We need to present this to the people.
Mario and Luigi presented this to the people and they were shocked. They all wanted Peach to be removed from power, it was obvious that Peach was a horrible princess Dictator Probably the last one in West Europe.
(Princess isn't good enough, Dictator / Tyrant is much better)
Bowser needs to invade…
Ooh! You've been left on a cliff-hanger!
So, we've just proved that Peach isn't as innocent as she seems. Dark Land is now the better, less corrupt and more democratic place to live and it is richer.
Info
DP and DPP
This is info you probably should know
10 coins = 1DP (Dark Land Pound)
1 Coin = 10DPP (Dark Land Penny)
1DPP = 0.1 Coins
Location of Dark Land and the Mushroom Kingdom
OK, some website, (can't remember what it was called) worked out that Peach's castle would be located somewhere in Oslo, Norway and it would cost almost 1 billion USD to build. However, I think that The Mushroom Kingdom would be located In-between Ireland and the Hebrides (the Hebrides is an UK archipelago) and Dark land would be located somewhere between Spain, France and South-West UK so, it would be west/north Europe. But, that's just my opinion. You can imagine it wherever you want.
(apologies for these notes being so long, I needed to tell you this stuff)
