Hey hey. That's a tough one.
Bismarck obviously...but then I saw Friedrich. But I still reckon it might be better to have one who prefers diplomacy to warfare.
So Bismarck it is.

No, just one. He would have total control of the country for four years.

Al Capone - because otherwise he'd deal with me afterwards. Besides, I'd like to see what he does to the police. Preferably, he would not be infected with neurosyphilis during his tenure.

Was considering Agamemnon, then decided that he might not be too good. Can't trust someone prepared to kill his own daughter, besiege an enemy for ten years, and then go and ignore continued warnings that his spurned wife might have it in for him.

Agamemnon was NOT a fictional character. I don't know how much of the stories about him in The Iliad were true, but trust me he was NOT ficiotal. Look him up on a history site.

Well, a lot of people probably don't know who Nobunaga is. Personally, I 'd prefer Toyotomi Hideoshi to Oda but thats just me ;)

Bismarck, 'cause I just studied him at school. And plus, the UK needs a leader with odd facial hair.

Agamemnon isn't just in the odyssey. He is in just about every writing about the Trojan war, ranging from brief mentions in the odyssey to the play Agamemnon by Aeschylus. Also in historical texts.

Making three posts, right after another, with no one to respond to (all within 3 minutes; posts 11-13) is spamming. You need to knock it off.
