But 0!=1, what am I missing here?

sadly I don't know which one you mean

The Disney genie was also just a scam. Aladdin explicitly wished to be a prince. Not look like a prince or be as rich as a prince or have a parade like a prince. But actually be one.
Instead he's revealed to be a 'fake prince' because the genie half assed his wish.
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.

Plot twist: The dialogue for "You have X wishes!" was not written beyond 3, so he now overflows into unused memory and just screams incoherent garbage at you.

It was me who wished everyone after me to be limited to three wishes
I'd kick your ass if I didn't spend all three of my wishes on churros from 7-11.

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.
