"…And begin a new era of peace and love," Zuko concluded his coronation speech. He knelt as the fire sages crowned him.
"All hail Fire Lord Zuko!" they cried out, and the crowd echoed.
Surely, Zuko's subjects were pleased that the century-long war was coming to an end, but if he really wanted to usher in that new era he'd promised, then he'd have to change some government policies to truly win over the hearts of the people.
"I've decided to abolish taxes," he announced. Sons and fathers no longer dying in a meaningless conflict that had raged on for all of living memory? That was nice, but no more taxes? Now that was a cause for celebration!
"Zuko, how can you get rid of taxes?" Aang hissed out the corner of his mouth, still smiling for the sake of the event. Cheers shook the ground and various champagne corks flew through the air as those assembled lost their shit. "How are you going to pay for, like, roads?"
"Who needs roads when you can fly by shooting fire out of your feet?" Zuko scoffed. "Taxation is theft! If the market demands it, then a private company will fill that need."
"Is this just an excuse not to do your job?" Aang accused him. "As the avatar, I understand — it's a lot to be thrust into such an important role while you're still just a kid, but your friends will be with you—"
"Aang, buddy, it's time for the Fire Nation to give up tyranny and try out anarcho-capitalism," Zuko explained. He grabbed the mic again (seriously, how the hell did everyone hear him in this scene) and cried, "And I'm legalizing drugs! All of them! And the color blue! And dancing! And porn! And guns!"
"Guns? But I thought you said you wanted to begin a new era of peace!"
"There can be no peace while one's individual rights are trampled upon! Also I'm legalizing slavery!"
"Slavery!?"
"You really think that unregulated capitalism isn't going to lead to slavery?" Zuko scoffed again, pulling away from the mic. "That's the price of a true free market, kiddo. And don't tell them, but I'm abolishing the state too. Like, I'll still be around if we need to use the military, but actually I wanted to go back to Sun Warrior Island to breed some dragons. I'm going to sell their eggs. See you guys later."
Aang stood there stunned as Zuko summoned a dragon from the skies and peaced the fuck out.
"You know, I was technically the one who won the Agni Kai," Katara said, pushing her way through the rioting crowd and towards Aang. "Which makes me the fire lord."
"Great. So you have a solution to this whole mess?" Aang asked hopefully.
"A whole dynasty toppled in a few short days?" Comrade Katara smirked devilishly. "I'm going to name myself communist dictator."
