Pretty self explanatory. If you could take control of any countrys government, what would it be and why? Personally, I would take over North Korea. Why? I'm curiuos as to what actually goes on there, and I wuol love to bring them into the twenty-first century.

Russia. For some reason, I want to build it back up to it's Glory Days, and make it another world power. That way, we get three super-states that may one day all declare war.
(The other two are the USA and China, by the way.)

I wish to be king of Sweden.

All the Swedish people I've met have been really cool people (not literally) and it just seems to be the kind of country where everything is laid back and the job of King would be pretty cruise-y.

Antarctica.
There's something about those penguins, makes me want to rule them.
And maybe train them to be an unstoppable fighting force.

Canada!
I wouldn't mind Japan, either, but not actually because of the games 'n such. That would just be a bonus.
I'd kinda like Switzerland, too.

Excuse me, what about the UK? The USA wouldn't exist without us, and fine China are getting pretty big, but Russia? Their glory days are long since gone...

As for what country I would rule, it would have to be Ireland, for two reasons. One, I love the country itself, and two, I just find girls with Irish accents really attractive :D.

USSR circa 1964, when they were still a superpower, I would do things differently Stalin.
Stalin lost power over Russia in the 50s so your timeline's off. But it definitely was Cold-War-era Russia. Good luck to ya on that!

Personally, I'd choose Fictionesia. Simple to rule and all you'd have to do is funnel money into warring factions.

Okay, seriously, any island in the Pacific Ocean. Small territory, sandy beaches, happy residents, and prime location of vacation awesomeness.

The UK isn't a superpower anymore. They used to be but now they're America's ***** just like Australia is.

On topic: I'd rule Australia, just because I'm already there and would probably do a better job then the current Prime Minister.

It's never too early for a history lesson! In Soviet Russia, history teaches YOU!

*Bows down to the new Holy Empress, Erana*

I'd be glad to see a change from Queen Elizabeth.

And who cares about the games and anime, it's all about the culture :D
Speaking of which, I wouldn't mind being ruler of Canada either, it has a lot of beautiful, untouched wilderness.
And who cares about the wilderness in Canada, it's all about the culture!
Seriously man, you avoid stereotyping Japan and then stereotype us. You ought to be a diplomat.
But seriously, if you come to Canada to see nature, you're only getting half your money's worth (assuming you paid to get here). Our cities, specifically our historical cities (Halifax, Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver) are the places to see.
Also, Halifax has the most bars per city in Canada, so if you want to get drunk in comfort and style, head east, young drunk.
