So, last week, I was talking to someone over Xbox Live and they told me what they'd do in the event they'd take over the world. He has said that he would:

Give me Nicaragua.
Replace all money with a global currency, and most likely try to divert some of the money from richer nations to some third-world countries.
Computerize almost all monetary transactions (and implied that credit would be run by the government itself)
Rehabilitate all but the most severe of criminals (Rapists, murderers, those who run pyramid schemes, terrorists, armed robbers etc.) and most likely either totally eliminate petty crime due to the new economy, or would rehabilitate petty criminals (thieves, pickpockets, etc.)
Have the worst of the prisoners (Terrorists, serial killers, serial rapists, etc.) be used to test medicines and such that have been proven to be safe for animals to see if they work on humans.
Fight to protect free speech
Ensure that Michael Bay only works on the technical aspects of movies (That is, the stuff that he doesn't fuck up on)

Now, next time I talk to him, I'd probably suggest some other things (Create a minimum legal bandwidth that ISPs can set and a maximum price based on bandwidth, Set a bare minimum for internet security of large organizations, overhaul the education system to feature smaller classes, less major tests, less dumbed-down information (teach the kids in the Americas about Leif Erickson at a younger age, for instance), and less corruption (Like, say, the superintendent of a school district giving his mistress (yes, as in the kind you cheat on your wife with) an important position or hiring someone to run the district's special ed. programs because they'll declassify all of the special ed. kids, etc. And yes, both of those happened in my local school district), and prevent news networks *coughFOXcough* from cutting the audio feed from people in the middle of their argument because they happened to disagree with the news station's view or debunk the logic behind their argument (Like the recent thing with Games being legally recognized as art, and FOX cutting someone off for pointing out something that debunked their whole argument. Hell, FOX just constantly cutting people off in general), among other things).

So, what would you do if you took over the world.

None of those things. Just... none of them.

Step One: Instate free market capitalism everywhere.

Step Two: Instate Democracy with the power to regulate free market capitalism to protect the individual, everywhere.

Step Three: Put tungsten rod launchers into orbit, just because their cool.

Step Four: Realize that unifying the planet, without any foreign power, is a dumb idea. Release countries to original state (Unless individuals of those countries would prefer alternatives).

I laugh at your attempt to unite the world under a democracy under your rule. I am the true air to the throne of the monarchy of earth! I will instate a free market, anyone who disagrees with it shall feel my wrath. I will abolish the puny news stations that plague this land (NBC, FOX, CNN, CBC, and institute my own). The Mavinchian times will report on the truth and nothing else! I will become a cyborg and rule with lasers and rockets and doom and a bit of mayhem. I will also install orbital lasers to install fear into those who don't accept my rule. Those who try to rebel and or badmouth their emperor cyborg will be put into learning institutions to assimilate.

(EDIT) I will also clone myself and change my clones sex into a women. So then the bloodline of the royalty will be pure and free of corruption and weakness.

Lasers? In orbit? Boring. Light hits the Earth every day. How often do solid core tungsten rods slam into the Earth with the force of Nuclear Explosions?

Answer: Not fucking enough.

I've worked it out before, though I can't remember exactly my plan. Here's the gist of it:

1. Wait for things to get bad politically and militarily (unrest within the nation, possibly invasion of mainland US, that sort of thing).
2. Use a charismatic puppet(s) (those aren't too uncommon) to get solid political control of Texas.
3. Blame problems on Federal Government and convince populace that secession is a good idea. In the Texas Constitution, they reserved they right to secede from the USA, and they've got a base that keeps about half the tanks the Army has on the mainland, so Texas could, in theory, be a sustainable nation right out of the gate.
4. Try and outlast the hairy stuff that made secession possible.
5(probably in the middle of step 4). Pull an "Emperor Palpatine," become the King O' Texas (the "O'" makes it feel less like oppression :D).
6. ...
7. Profit!

Man, this took forever to type on a touchpad.

I would appear to leave everything as it is, but secretly I would start doing all the crazy things that conspiracy theorists claim are happening (this includes replacing all world leaders with reptilians in human suits). However, I would make just enough differences so that the new wave of conspiracy nuts spend all their resources waging war on the old elite. While they're distracted, I'm making fake dinosaur bones that appear to be only a few thousand years old and architecturally-advanced ruins in million-year-old sediment.

so then, shall King O Texas and his kingdom make a alliance with Mavinchious McMaximus to defeat the corrupt government of old? (We have orbital lasers!)

Verily! (Pretty sure that translates as "yes" in king-speak)

Hm...
1) Be awesome (as usual)
2) Obtain all Fire Emblem games and translate to english.
3) Make the world an anarchy except for a few rules:
1. Don't attack me
2. Don't attack any of my friends or family
4) State that failure to obey the laws above will result in RPG to the face.

If I ruled the world I'd find people who were qualified to run it to do things. I don't know how to run a planet after-all. (Yet people would still blame me for global problem even though I didn't do anything).

All adults would have a calendar year to learn proper spelling and grammar of the English language. Failure to do so results in death by bullet to the face.

Should fix our imminent overpopulation problem. After this, though, I'm gonna wing it.
