Scrooge thus proclaims his own kingdom, only to discover that ruling an independent country is not easy. Interesting facts: The reason this story wasn't published in Sweden is most likely because extra magazines for some reason are very seldom enclosed with KA&Co. In the Norwegian edition Cornelius Coot is wrongly named "Kornelius Duck" instead of "Kornelius Kvakk".
