You are the king of America for a year, what do you do? Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I posted this a while ago, I am re-writing it because of rescent events.

Every state legislature has ratified you to be king of America for a year. The supreme court, congress, the senate, the house, the current president also agree. You have a pettition from the American people(all 275 million of em) saying they go along with this, your king for a year......legally the constitution and all laws are nothing before you.....you are the absolute despot and all powerfull king.......for 1 year.

There are a couple of stipulations before you answer this.......

You want to do good and make America/the world a better place, you are doing this out of a totaly selfless attitude, and you cannot do anything specifically(or targeted at a group you are in, just because you are in that group) to benifit yourself in any way while you are in office, or while you are out of office. You are a complete humanitarian, you cant take any power with you, or do anything in office that will help you in any way once your out, or to benifit friends familly etc while your in/out.....your totaly selfless.

There is no way to extend your power once your out of office.

Dont fight those stipulations please .

What do you do with your year in office?


This is a serious question, please dont annex countries all silly nilly and nuke the ones with hard to pronounce names.

I'd concrete over the middle east, built a big elevator to the moon (and watch it break when the moon changes position) and rename America 'Super Duper Funland'.

Then I'd bomb Iraq.

That's why Beria didn't want them to split up the KGB into international and domestic sectors. Of course, Beria was the reason that Khruschev et al wanted to split up the KGB in the first place...

Are you going to use the army for this, or are you just going to take the place over by yourself? I think one person should be sufficient for obvious reasons.

Anyway, if I were king I would use all of our B-52's to drop bars of soap on the French.


Then I'd nuke them.

Suspend the consititution, declare myself President for life and declare martial law. Then I would go declaring war on any nation that even dares opposes the US. My words are backed with nuclear weapons.

I would then declare State of Siege in the most violent areas in the US and then deploy the national guard and army. I would keep marijuana illegal and instate decrees stating that marijuana is illogical therefore will no longer exist. I would then adopt the regressive tax system.

Then again... isn't that Tropico?
