If it was impossible he shouldn’t have accepted the wish. Aladdin already gets a wish rejected for not being possible. Fulfilling a wish with something different than what was wished for shouldn’t be a thing.
And what does being a prince of a non-existent country even mean? That’s still not a prince in any capacity (as confirmed by the story). It’s just a scam.
Plus an easy way to accomplish this is just to make Aladdin the lost son of someone. It’s a pretty common trope for royal kids to end up missing and raised as commoners, especially in Disney stories.
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.
