I tried being a monarch once. It's not as easy as it sounds. Without people to rule, resources are somewhat limited. I mastered the waving thing, but parades were borderline pathetic (even for a parade). There was a good turnout of the Asian Beetle delegation, but the size of the Box Elder Bug crowd was disappointing. Funds were a little tight, so I had to be my own court jester.
That's how I ended up in this dungeon. If I ever get out of here, I plan on overthrowing myself.
