Lets talk about the Mushroom Kingdom

If you want to be realistic, it is clear that Mario, Luigi, Peach, and the few other humans we know of are not native to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Somehow they went from Earth to this realm, where a peaceful kingdom inhabited by the Toads are threatened by Bowser the tyrant.

The humans elevate themselves to that of heroes using the mystical properties of the local plantlife. They seize the Toad kingdom as their own due to them lacking central leadership and self proclaim they are benevolent heroes. Peach becomes the defacto ruler, and Mario/Luigi are her enforcers.

Your welcome

But we've never actually seen ruling, we've seen her throw parties, race go karts, fight things, go on vacation, get kidnapped multiple times, turned into an evil tyrant, play football, play tennis, play board games, dress up like a cat, wear nothing at all, get captured by aliens, but we've never seen her do anything at all resembling the actions of a soverign leader from her. Even Bowser commands Koppas and organizes them, builds castles etc. 

I think she's just a figurehead with very oddly specific magical powers. The ability to float (for limited time), pull turnips out of anything solid, and the magic she has for the sole purpose of countering the magic that Bowsers forces used to turn the toad people into blocks, weeds, and other inanimate objects.
