    That’s a fair point. I was thinking it was kinda like being the technical prince of the Ottoman empire or some other country that no longer exists - a neat factoid to talk about, but otherwise not really relevant.

      Oh good point. For a non-benevolent genie story, I suppose being made a prince of a defunct country would work. He would be a prince, but it wouldn’t be good enough for what he wants to be a prince for (a good match for the princess). Yeah I see your angle now and that makes sense.
