id go with a flying fortress... not quite a spaceship but i want it to fly above the surface so all can see my awesomeness as i circle the globe in my mighty flying castle that can rain doom and destruction upon the tiny insignificant creatures below... or rain candy... haven't decided yet
im thinking a volcano, at least it will be nice and warm (plus the heating bill will be non-exsistant)

I like the idea of an old, crumbling castle. I'd select a decent-sized suite in the heart of the structure, put in what furniture I deemed necessary and decorate the walls with a few big banners with my personal symbol.
I'd leave the rest of the castle unchanged, so that anyone who came looking for me, would have to do so by exploring a dark, musty labyrinth of winding corridors, creaky stairways, cramped rooms and claustrophobic passages - entirely devoid of any furniture and even booby traps, and showing no signs whatsoever (outside of my suite) that I'm living there.
I would also ensure the complete absence of any living creatures bigger than the common spider. No rats, mice, stray cats - nothing. Nothing is more intimidating than darkness, silence and ancient masonry. That way, any intruders fumbling around in my castle would sooner or later be completely overcome by the ultimate weapon - their OWN FEARS AND DOUBTS, leaving them with no greater desire in life than to simply GET OUT!

While a dark battlestation with spikes of evil in orbit is always fun.. not very practical, and costly.
A better choice would be an average office building in the middle of a medium-sized town. Access to all town services, a tim Hortons is nearby for cofee and donuts, a daycare center nearby (or inside) to keep kids busy and their parents close. Windows let plenty of sunlight inside, also plenty of parking space.

Mine would be a modest but secure base that blends in with the surroundings. You wouldn't even be able to tell it is a base.
Now, the my decoy overlord, he'd dwell in some expansive something-or-other. Most people would think he was the overlord. The ones that mattered would know (and fear/respect/owe/be owned by/etc) me though.

eh, I'd just have a gigantic pyramidal palace that dominates most of a city - but then, given I intend to ride a wave of support to my office as Overlady in perpetuity, it hardly has to be hidden. Besides, I don't like the idea of a spaceship. Being surrounded by vacuum isn't exactly safe - and I don't like the idea of a volcano lair, being surrounded by lava isn't exactly safe. I'd rather just be surrounded by loyal guards, a devoted populace, and a high speed subterranean rail line in case of emergencies/coups.
