In other words RM if you ruled a country whats your position as a leader?

Are you a president of a country, a dictator, an emporer, a king, a prince?

A terrible one.

I'm too nice. No one would bother electing me because I'd blatantly say, "Well . . . you know, I can't promise much. Perhaps, if you're lucky, maybe I could lower taxes. Maybe." And I couldn't seize power by force . . . I'm not a violent person, so I don't think a revolution would be much of an option.

Ideally I'd be a member of the secret shadow organization that controls the world, like Bill Gates.

Although I suppose that in a short time I shall rule over all of you . . . because I am an elite member of the DNRC (Dogbert's New Ruling Class) and when Dogbert conquers the world, we shall rule over all Induhviduals.

A king of course.

I would rule my country from The Hague (as you all know it). Also logical since The Netherlands is already part Monarchy.

A President. Of course sometimes I just get tired of having to deal with people (especially stupid ones), so I don't know...a dictator might be nice too.

What difference is there between a king/queen and a dictator?

I'd be a queen. Bing president has too much B/S to deal with.

Simply put, not much. But a monarchy has more "rules" that complicate things. One can be a consitutional monarch, an absolute monarch, or a parliamentary monarch. An absolute monarch is like a dictator. A constitutional monarch, less so because they are bound by the rules of their country's constitution. A parliamentary monarch has the least power and is usually more of a figurehead than a real ruler, because they have some sort of relationship to a parliament.

I want to be an empress and take back the British Empire...

Either that, or senator of Naboo, or a princess like princess Leia.

That's why I voted "dictator."

I'd be an Emperor, for the simple reason I prefer the name,

I'd be a benevolent dictator. A dictator that uses his/her power for the benefit of the people.

I'd be an Emperor. I think the only way to fix this world is to take it by force. Humanity has proven its stupid to make its own choices.

So someone just as stupid should take it over from here right?
