8 bit rule
-
I always thought he was a "fake prince" because he was the prince of a country that didn't exist. Like, sure, you're the prince of this nonexistent country, see how far that gets you I guess. Otherwise Genie would either have to make new land out of nowhere somehow, or displace people who already lived/ruled in a location, which seems somewhat against the rules.
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.

Wish 1: "I wish that my third wish will retroactively become my first wish instead, but I retain all memories from every timeline."
-
Wish 2: "I wish that every wish I've made after my first wish never happened, except for my memories of them."
-
Wish 2b: Genie... i've come to bargain..." user proceeds to enforce temporal paradox type 1a 'causal-loop' until 'negotiation leveraging favorable terms' for infinite wishes without the monkeys paw BS is complete
-
Wish 3: "I wish to break this cycle and return to normal linear time, keeping all accumulated memories."

Ah, turns out that all genies use the same code as nuclear gandhi.

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.

Wish1: I whish to live through various alternate realities of my choosing until I want to stop; I want to retain only the memories of it.
FTFY.
Now you've got two more wishes free for other stuff.
You're welcome.

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.
