Part 2:

1. What do you see as the biggest challenges as the new monarch of Finngard will face? How will you deal with these challenges?

With me being the new monarch of Finnsgard, I will probably face the same challenges as I first did in England. Since I was born the other gender I was first discriminated, and people didn't think I had the power, mentality and strength to rule the country of England. However, I showed them wrong. I worked to make England the most powerful country in Europe and so I did. During my reign in England, most people were Protestants but several parts of England was still Catholic. Even though it took a lot of work and time I worked my hardest to get to the goal of everyone being Protestants. Another challenge I will have to face is getting the respect from the rich nobles. Seen before, the nobles treat all people in a bad way and they don't obey the rules made by me, the monarch. I will get respect and make the nobles listen by using my politician skills in keeping the nobles happy but still getting my way. In my presence, I will work to promote Finnsgard as a united and strong country. As I said once before: "This is the Lord's doing and it's marvellous in our eyes." This means I work to get people see the greatness of my work.

2. What special talents do you have as a ruler that will help you rule Finngard effectively?

Since almost everyone in Finnsgard's are Catholic, I expect that they won't accept me as a ruler of England because I tried to convert the religion to Protestantism. As you know, I speak five different languages. I tried to read the ideas of the Martin Luther, which is in German and find the weaknesses of the Catholic Church, and convince them to realize the wrong things, so that they can realize that they should change their religion to Protestantism. "I may not be a lion, but I am a lion's cub, and I have lion's heart." When I had the throne, I realized that no one can rule the country alone. Therefore, I began to call my great advisers to help me to rule the country. At first, while I was struggling with Finnsgard, they helped me to solve some problems the best way possible. I listened to their advises without any doubts and began to put that in action with all my courage. So finally, I succeed to convert the English's religion to Protestantism.

3. Why are you the best monarch for the job?


I believe I was the best monarch. I boldly can say that I did many things that no one could think of. First of all, my most important attribute was that I ruled two countries:England and Ireland. I truly appreciate my advisers for giving me courage, intelligence, and loyalty to rule the countries. Around the year 1558, I defeated the Spanish Armada, which was the most powerful and dangerous fleet recognized by others. But that's not all, I have also discovered new lands and I have brought wealth to the English. I have reestablished a country as one of the strongest and wealthiest kingdoms in the world. "I have already joined myself in marriage to a husband, namely the kingdom of England." This means I ruled England with such strength and power that it became part of my life. That's the reason why people believe I am the one of the most loved monarchs in history.
