Oh sure that..no no no .. its a kingdom and although bigger than some countries I only have one subject

.. sorry including the dogs four subjects

. The trouble is we are so far away from things we cant afford transport to invade anything and plunder for revenue

. AND to be honest the balance of trade figures just came out and they are down a little on last year

. Still one of my subjects has been hard at work laying cement for the new state of the art observatory and the main building 1.8 mtr x 1.8 mtr will be erected upon my return to the kingdom. The other three subjects have been defending the borders from the Kangarro people who invade usually at night and have been getting closer to the observatory site. Security is now of a grave concern. I am here in Sydney on a diplomatic mission our behalf of the kingdom and fear three of the subjects are planning an overthrow. Difficult times but the openning of the observatory is to coincide with my coronation
