a wierd question

what would you do if you owned a country even a small one and don't say any stupid answers make it something along the line of this (not exactly though): be supreme ruler then make no laws exept involving taxation (which would look low) to get idiots to come also have affordable housing and a guard around you at all times or else this won't work. when taxing comes around and you have a bunch if wierdo's who for some reason don't like laws you raise taxes by 1000% take peoples money and blame it on a computer error which also apparently makes it so you can't give it back lower taxes again and repeat. see how long it takes people to notice when everybody leaves sell the county to the highest bidder and retire a filthy rich man.


I made that up in about a minute just so you don't think I stand around thinking these things up.

Prostitution and Marijuana would be legalized (even though I don't use either, well except as gifts). Everybody would have a flat tax of about 15%~18%. Even though I am the leader any other leaders, including my position, would be deciced by direct vote.
There would be no censorship on radio or TV and people can not get in trouble for using "obscene" language. If people complained I would tell them to censor themselves and worry about their OWN children.

In my country, Max's head (From sam & max, you bigot!) would be worshiped as a holy object.

If I owned a small Island what would I do?
Well First of all no-one would live there only me and a select group of people from my family and friends. I would have a small house facing the sea so I could look out there every day and go fishin'. I would have a boat of course. I would be near a main continent so I could order all my 'needs'.

Well this is my idea of Paradise. Of course I would have to be very rich to do all this oh well I can dream can't I?

I can't think of how to turn my small island into a country, so I've decided to pretend I became in charge of England instead :
  • Abolition of Interest, which only serves to make the Rich richer and the Poor poorer.
  • State funding of Banks.
  • Confiscation of all fortunes above £5 million (or maybe less).
  • Confiscation of any Inheritances over £1 million.
  • The money from the two above points would be used to fund public services, paticularly Education. Oh yeah, while I'm on the subject:
  • Reintroduction of the Student Grant, and
  • Abolition of Tuition Fees.
  • Legalisation of Cannabis (obviously).
  • Prostitution itself is to be legalised, although Pimping is still to be a criminal offense.
And finally:
  • A big fat pay packet for myself. After all, as Supreme Dictator, the only way to stop me skimming off government money for myself is to give me no incentive to do it...

I'd get everybody out and build a large palace that would become my place of residence. I'd wear white robes and carry a long, pointed staff wherever I go.

I'd build a lab and employ a group of scientists who would create a race of hybrid beings. They would worship me as a God, and together we'd conquer the earth, making it a better place for all living beings.

Me...... I would wear what sydney would wear and I'd Build a huge palace that is simalar to Paramonian Temple, Devoke a general and a Slig Army to rule the world. I'd also Wear the OWI pendent (What Abe wears on the AO PS case) and it would grant my every wish (INFINATE ) and I'd make a world like Oddworld - Every member's dream (Or not)

I say we give m101 a country and then laugh at him when he realises that sligs and magic pendants don't exist...
