The Little Country that Could

The story of the little country that could!

Once upon time, a world power invaded a distant continent and turned it into a prison colony; the merchants of the realm were soon to follow.

The little colony grew strong with servants (prisoners), slaves and the royal shallow. The money flowed from the mainland to the continent and all was well for the ground was no longer hallowed.

Then the time came when the peasants, servants, and slaves had had their fill of royal naves and gave a shout and cry, “live free or die.”

Their own money they started to make and the royals shouted, “Your money is fake.”

“The royal bank is from where ye shall drink or you will tank.”

The peasants said, “No, no, my friend, the royal bank will have to end.”

“In time so will your taxes rescind.”

The royal bank was burnt to the ground and the shouts went up in the town, “the tyrants have been put down.” The royals reacted with guns and the government house was no more and they said, “The fun has only just begun.”

Years after the peasants revolted, a new bank was begun with investor from the mainland contributing quite a sum. The peasants did not have a clue that royals were acting a new and their lives were at risk as the royals closed the noose.

The peasant’s new government (in secret) was working with the royals to create a bank to regulate the flow of money that would change the flow of the peasant’s milk and honey.

The contract between the peasants held that their government was responsible for printing their money; the secret pack by the royals insured a government of the royals, by the royals, for the royals, now isn’t that funny?

The peasants would never know this truth; they are easily divided, deceived and separated by the royal media. They live joyously in the sun for the fun has only just begun.
