Narnia: National Security, Small Government, with a Little Environmental Regulation

"These two Kings and two Queens governed Narnia well, and long and happy was their reign. At first much of their time was spent seeking out the remnants of the White Witch's army and destroying them, and indeed for a long time there would be news of evil things lurking in the wilder parts of the forest--a haunting here and a killing there, a glimpse of a werewolf one month and a rumor of a hag the next. But in the end all that foul brood was stamped out. And they made good laws and kept the peace and saved good trees from being unnecessarily cut down, and liberated young dwarves and young satyrs from being sent to school, and generally stopped busybodies and interferers and encouraged ordinary people who wanted to live and let live."
-C. S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
