Also as posted on AH.com and CF.net. Not entirely sure where it should go.
Supposing for the sake of argument you became dictator of your own country purely by ASB involvement. You hold absolute power within that country, and can do basically whatever you want within a certain set of rules (see below). Assume the military becomes loyal to you, and so do the civilian population, to begin with- but try to be realistic, people will be able to change their minds and you don't want a coup on your hands if you go too far. You also have to deal with the international ramifications.
The rules:
1. As above, try and be realistic, and be serious. Joking about being a crazy despot might look cool or a laugh, but it isn't IRL.
Of course if you want to play the crazy dictator within limits, that is fine.
2. No neo-Nazi regimes, instigating genocides or mass purges, or carrying out vendettas against specific board members, that sort of thing.
3. Also, try not to piss too many fellow-posters off.
4. You may delegate power as you wish, even instigate democracy and take a relative back seat, but you must retain some serious powers.
5. You may not resign except for serious health reasons, and cannot be forced from office short of a coup or invasion, nor may you allow yourself to do so.
6. The general aim is to see what you would do if you got the chance, and hopefully to make some positve contribution, not necessarily turn into a corrupt or despotic leader. But, as you will...
7. You are limited to the existing territory of whichever country you are a national of, at the outset. If you have more than one nationality, then all countries you are a national of apply. [EDIT: The Vatican does not apply, unless you are actually the Pope. (Well, it's always possible...)]
So:
1. How would you rule, and how would you organise government, delegate power, &c.?
2. What sort of ideology or political stance if at all would you adopt?
3. What would be your policies? (Make up a list of areas if you prefer).
