In an alternative reality, you stab the president (or what ever the leader of your country is), though that act you take his or her place, what is the first thing you will do for or to your country.

Seriously: Introduce a radical overhaul of the civil service, cutting bureaucratic redtape and freeing up billions to help ease the burden on our struggling economy.
For the hell of it: Order the production of a mech army and invade any country that looks at me funny.

The grandest palace the world has ever seen. And a political prison facility with uranium embedded in the bars. Take THAT journalists.

Wonder how the Devil I became President over Sweden all of a sudden... We don't have any Presidents here, though we have a King with a thumb up his butt.

And before you reply; no, I get your question. What I would do as my first act, is institute the hippo as our national animal, even if we do not have them. (Because let's face it; hippos are fucking bad-ass.)

The leader of my country is the prime minister, and he doesn't really have the power to decide many things on his own, but I'll pretend that by stabbing him, I become some kind of dictator.

What I really want to do is remove all mention of religion from all legal documents. That is not to say that it will suddenly become okay to discriminate religious people based on their beliefs, but it will mean that they receive no more special treatment. Religious groups will be considered like any other association of people (like for instance a sports club, or animal rights group), so they can still apply for government support if they want. "I have to because of my religion" will no longer be an excuse for doing or refusing to do anything.

Also, I want to make speech just a little more free, as we currently have some lawsuits against it that I find both ridiculous and embarrassing.

Tighten up security so it isn't as easy to go around stabbing very important political figures. The Bacon. Lots of bacon.

First thing I'd do is get a convincing double.
Then I'd find some way to bring the Prime Minister back to life and shank him again...
Oh, and all men must have a suitable moustache!

I would create and enforce a law that the parents are responsible for their child behaviour so they have no right when they blame videogames for their psychopath child (unless they can provide strong evidences). Also I would enforce the game rating so they cannot complain about it.

Yes, I totally stole the idea from MovieBob.

What? Lead? Me? No, no, no. No leading. Bad things happen when I lead. We get lost, people die, and the next thing you know I'm stranded somewhere without any pants.

Assuming I take control of my own country, I would first secretly blackmail the Queen into dissolving parliament so I can do whatever I want.

Next, the banishment of all works by Stephanie Meyer. If anyone is caught reading one of these forbidden items, they are sentenced to 3 days confined to a room listening to "Friday" on a continuous loop.

Then there'd be the renaming of the country to "New Atlantis" and a subsequent change of the flag. The destruction of 10 Downing Street and the building of my off-shore base (containing not only an office but full entertainment facilities such a build-in cinema, tennis courts etc).

And finally there'd be sinking all the money that is currently being spent on things I deem to be worthless into the development of a manditory drug that will perform two functions:

1) Make everybody bisexual
2) Make them forget ever having taken the drug in the first place

First, I'd up the security, so some random prick can't just wander in and stab me to establish dominion, which would be happening pretty much constantly in the proposed scenario.

Then? Well, I'd fix whatever problems I can get to, the only way a presiding body can- aspire to do good things, fuck up, then make lives miserable in the "saving face" phase.

I would ensure the minimum wage allowed for a family to survive on each parent only having to work ONE job, preferably only one parent would HAVE to work to get by.

Then new financial laws would be set in place, ensuring a controllable economic environment where setting up scams and border-line businesses would become extremely difficult, and also help to secure the economic future of my country.

Make the tax laws about a million times easier to understand, having only a few easy-to-use forms and formulas needed to pay the correct taxes. We would avoid a lot of the nonsense, people would understand the system and know they are not being cheated, and regulating it would also become much simpler. Would also help to reduce fraud and similar.

Have the government control the oil industry, making billions a year that can go towards improving the country and making life better for the average citizen. True, a few really rich persons wouldn't become even richer, but I couldn't care less...

And finally, attacking rival candidates during elections would become illegal. You would be allowed to present YOUR case to the people, NOT say things or fabricate things about the other candidate. Doing any direct action to hurt your rivals campaign would be treated as fraud and you would be unable to continue, and risk time in jail.

I would then adopt the Confederate flag as my new national flag, not because of any of the things the flag may or may not stand for, but because it's a really cool looking flag. I would then give it new, cool meanings.

Meatballs would be adopted as the new national dish, and genetically altered cats would be dubbed "Vampirecats" and declared the national animal.

Turn my newly taken over nation into the first ever properly functioning nation in the world. And then sell so I can build a theme park in my honor instead.

Order 1) Make/train Cyborg Ninja Assassin Penguins in environmental suits.
Order 2) Utilize the products of order 1 to annex countries one by one while promising that I wont go after any more countries and I just need this country for living space while breaking that promise repeatedly
Order 3) Burn all flags and destroy all national identities over time
Order 4) Randomly place all families in random countries
Order 5) Step down/exile myself/disappear ordering my penguins to assassinate anyone who amasses enough power to be considered a leader on a national level.

Welcome to the land of do-as-thou-wilt.
