1. I will ascertain omniscience.
2. I will rule the new nation fairly on a cosmic scale.
3. People complain, I tell them why their arguments are invalid.
4. ???
5. Profit.

How about Escapia, since this site is called The Escapist and we are escaping the rest of the world.

I shall take control of the military and rule with an iron fist for a few months while I outlaw private interest groups, lobbyists and political parties. I shall then retire knowing that I have done good for the world.

First thing that should get done is the creation of proper infrastructure; cities (including government buildings, housing etc.), transit facilities (like roads), a power grid, a sewage system running water and the rest. Then there is the implementation of laws as agreed upon by the ruler and experts in all fields of study/knowledge (including sciences, arts, etc.) and a system to ensure those laws are being followed (police/courts etc.). Then we need essential services like firefighters, sewage workers, hospitals, maintenance workers, electrical workers, administration, schools, food producers, internets, etc. Then comes industry, entertainment and the rest of the non-essential jobs. As long as everyone works with the spirit of perfection of self and society and everyone strives towards improving knowledge in all fields then we will have a perfect and well run society, where everyone will always be happy.

Edit: also all of our buildings should be beautiful to create a national pride, and a military force should be maintained for defensive purposes only. We will join the U.N. (if it still exists) if only to teach the rest of the world how to do it right.

National Anthem, anyone?

I propose the Immigrant Song


Imagine, at the Olympic Games, THIS being sung by an entire stadium of people.

Also, Socialist Ogliarchy (sp?), because why the hell not?

Also, I want Hinduism to be the national religion. Because (caste system aside) the actual religion itself is completley chilled-out and focused mainly on festivals

Any government created by us people on the Escapist will end in tragic rebellion. Oh well.

There's just not enough people for a democracy, and a dictatorship would fall apart...
So why not just usurp the current governments?

Eeeh, I think we might be smart enough to run a senate based government instead of uniting under one figurehead. It would be cool to have our own special continent though!

We call it Earth 2.0 and the government is dictatorship by me. And all people must pass a test which shows you are capable of something otherwise EXPULSION FROM OUR ISLAND!

I do believe I left the remote on your table. May have to change the batteries though.
Oh you mean this thing.....well seems harmless enou...OH SHIT!!!

.....Tell me, have you any expierience in the creation of non-conductive secretaries??
Non-conductive? Hmm. I'll need to bring a specialist for that. Been busy building our air defense network. Contrary to popular belief, lightning doesn't work so hot on aircraft...

Any power corrupts over the long run. Eventually everything would be the same shit as always.
Publicly anyway. And as a resident mad scientist, I prefer it stay that way, lest the plebians overly concerned citizens start banging on about their interpretation of "ethics" again.

And please, if you want to argue ethics, talk to one of our "senators". But if you want results, talk to me.

Authoritarian dictatorship under Regular Guy.

Will practice eugenics. Offended? Blow me.
Eugenics is outmoded. Why bother modifying the existing genome when you can write your own!
...Though my mad-science is primarily limited to the natural forces. I'll need a geneticist to compliment my abilities. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" and all that.

Huh heaven on earth.
If it doesn't burn within the week a socialist democracy sounds fine considering our population is probably either a. tourists or b. goverment officals.
Let's be like Rapture or Columbia from bioshock (minus the civil wars) or esthar from ff8 (a secret nation with highly advanced tech).
High tech ftw!

Yeah, let's call it Rapture and make awesome body mods ^^
Then we can continue by splitting up the lands under families and.... wait.... I get the feeling this has been done before, but I can't put my finger on it...

Name: Eternia.

Rule: Complete democracy. Let the people vote about everything.
Complete democracies have no practicality though, nothing would get done because we would have to do a vote on every tiny decision. Surely it is better just to elect everyone who makes said decisions on how qualified they are for the job.

I vote the next step to be optic fiber cabling everywhere and to every continent, and a right to block any country from visiting if they don't agree with any policies we make.

Such as possibly buying a company license for certain programs for the entire island.
