Lease Your Own Village, Your Majesty

As your chief real estate adviser, you know I'm always looking for great acquisitions for you folks. And I think I have found a dandy here: your very own Hungarian village! Yes indeed, the village of Megyer, 120 miles from Budapest, can be yours for a mere $750 U.S. dollars per day, you can time-share this little bit of paradise, featuring 18 resident, seven guesthouses that can sleep a total of 39, four streets, a barn and a few farm animals. And best of all, you might be named "Deputy Mayor" for the duration of your reign!

Obviously, this is a plan to revitalize a sluggish economy. Megyer, which dates back to the 11th century or older, points out that "the silence of the remote countryside it its main attraction." If you need a village idiot, I might be interested. DB
