What would you do if you were the state, basically a dictator that has total control over the people ?
I don’t know what I would do in that situation, but I would try to destroy my own power.
Post these in the newbie forum, please.

I would probably abuse the power to my own advantage.
If this hypothetical were forced upon me, the only thing I would see worth doing is:
1.) Make an op-out law for those who wish to withdraw from use of state services, & declare their that their self-soverignty is of no threat to the state.
Everything else would seem like a waste of time. Regardless, if I was “elected”, I would refuse the position & probably use such an outrage (it would certainly be a huge event to refuse office of the world government) as a window to speak out about Statism & anarchism, most likley without using those explicit labels, throughout the media & internet circuit.
Jon, what exactly should go in the newbie forum?
These kind of threads.

I dictator with total control over people would probably die within a year. Of treachery, illness, or sheer unhappiness.

Have the women of the Kardashian tribe washed and brought to my tent.
Declare every Thursday to be Grilled Marinated Skirt Steak Day, capped by a barbecue at my tasteful yet well-furnished palace.
Put my royal imprimatur on Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, and denounce Dunkin Donuts as a shabby, pale imitation of doughnuts.
Now this is where we differ. I would have to make Tim Hortons official donut of the realm.
Eeeewww I would prohibit any donuts (even though TIm Horton’s canadian stuff is worse than Dunkins)
I would allow people to “opt out” of my global government. Not much else would do. Economy? Leave it alone. Personal freedoms? Yes. Military? Voluntary, but since we wouldn’t have any external threats, it would be more of a security force. I most likely wouldn’t build any infrastructure, depends on if: a. we have the money to, b. it’s sound, and c. no land disputes with any landowner. Then I might. It would be the first global anarchic society!
