Which is why our Presidents take their monthly meditations in Camp David, while they suffer in the WHITE HOUSE?

Which nation would i rule?
The USA, of course.

What i'd do?
Nationalise all businesses, make all weapons illegal, disband the army, navy and airforce, as well as all intelligence agencies, and enjoy the what happens next...

America's to big, I would pick the small guy then build until I emerge as a world power! Wait, thats in video games....
Paxania

Alright, I'd become President, then hypnotise Congress and the state legislatures to do my bidding. ;-) I'd then proceed with my conservative policies that make life better!

Miraclia, you'd get as far as being killed by your own bodyguards.

United States of America, simply because it has the most influence and power, therefore I'd be able to most effectively implement what I believe....

Once in power, I'd pour billions into a research project that proves witches are made of wood.

Okay, no, I'd impose a system that would (over the course of a decade or so) drain virtually all money from so called "social welfare" programs, with the exception of Education. Taxes would also be changed to a flat income tax rate. Excess money from cutting all that social spending would be put into education, military spending, and environmental protection (odd from a extremist right-wing huh?)

Ahhh too lazy to get detailed....

I'd rule my home nation of Canada, and I'd increase social programs tremendously and tax the rich.

I'd rule the British Empire. It's done the most for this world. And I'd.... dun dun dun! Actually put some money INTO the armed forces. Because Hoon keeps taking money out.

*Actually, literally, seethes in disgust.*

With no military I'd like to see you enforce that said weapons ban...those things would probably bring on revolution...

Went all the way to the last message with nobody saying China. BAH! Oh well, I may not be the first but I would abuse it's sheer manpower to get what I want. Maybe team up with the U.S. for what I like to call "World Domination Tour"

I'd probably make a Greater China entity. Probably act with the US, the EU, and Russia to start carving up the world.

I would rule Nauru.
About a dozen thousand people on a small island out in the Pacific. It would be like playing SimCity, but only really dumb.
It wouldn't matter though, because the only real purpose of the government would be to hold the monthly Muffin King Parade (A parade to the infinite greatness that is me and/or muffins) and to enforce the only law in the country. That is, the law making Ralph Nader the National Animal, Mineral, Vegetable, Flower, Anthem, Motto, and whatever else I can think of in my time off from the Mufffin King Parade.

I'd rule Belgium. Because you don't mess with Belgium. In fact, you don't mess with anyone, because Belgium WILL find out.

I'd run Australia. Then add a few of the small Pacific nations that can't afford to keep running... until I own the Pacific.
