Cabbages and Kings by O. Henry

This is written as a glued-together collection of similarly-themed short stories that revolve around a fictional country in South America, political revolution, and several interesting characters that end up in well-written comedic situations. Interestingly described political games form the basis of a mystery of some missing money from one of the previous governments, which is solved over time with several clever twists.
