Peggy Bartels was just an average person in the United States, working as a secretary, living in a one room condo, with an average salary. Up until a few years ago. Late one night, the phone would not stop ringing and she had finally picked up. It turned out that her uncle had died, whilst ruling a village of the coast of Ghana. Bartels thought the person was playing a joke on her, until she found out the person was actually serious. She took up the position and is currently ruling her people with her knowledge, and goes by the title King Peggy.
I think this is kind of like a fairy tale story. I would love for this to happen to me. I am very glad for her and wish the best for her and her country.

This sounds like a movie plot. But just how well she is able to rule? Living in America, she has no experience with ruling, and probably does not know the political/economics aspects of the village.
