The Genius Prince's Guide To Raising A Nation Out Of Debt

Thanks to the ongoing translation of the light novels that provide the source material for "The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt," fans also have a good idea of what story arcs the upcoming anime might include.

Prince Wein's story begins when his father, King Owen, falls ill, leaving the young man to take up the responsibility of ruling the Kingdom of Natra. As noted in a fan review on Reddit, Natra is a small place in the story's universe, with a population of about half a million citizens and no natural resources to speak of. The only value that Natra seems to have to any of its neighbors is its central location, which makes it a main passageway on the continent.

Due to his lack of interest in the nation at large, Prince Wein seeks to trick the Earthworld Empire's governing bodies into taking over the Kingdom of Natra, all while making it seem like he is doing his best to protect his country. Much of the plot of Volume 1, which the anime will likely cover, revolve around these actions. In addition, Volume 1 covers the extended military campaign the prince finds himself a part of.
