I would be the bad guy , And destroy all those who oppose my great land and conquer all others who cower in fear. I would make sure everyone in my land was happy and full , but wouldnt give a rats arse about anyone else and , In the end , I would probably fall.

Oh Lord, forgive the misprints! Andrew Bradford, American book-publisherWell while I would put together a most capable council, really their job would be to oversee various departments within my new glorious government. Military, food, education, media, science, etc. However I still hold the ultimate power, and this is not a democracy. We say something is going to happen? It fucking happens, no fucking around with bureaucracy. Also I'd make it so that none of the council could ever accept any donation (read: bribe) to cut back on corruption.
I would invite the best and the brightest to my glorious new country, also open our arms to the poor and out of luck, those fed up with their own country. It would be the best new country ever, and global domination may or may not be on our agenda as well.

Become the fang for those who have none! Help FanserviceFTW!Everybody would be happy! I'd make sure everybody is happy! And if I have to personally beat happiness into them!
Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken. Unrelated ME1 FanficI'd very quickly reinstate democracy. That said, I'd still stand for re-election...
I'd basically try to be a good leader, but if people voted me out, then I'm out. Also, once I'm dead thats it. Unless people thought my child was the best lad/lass for the job, no starting a dynasty.
The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.I would begin by beheading all the religious people in the government. The non-religious people would soon follow. I would then appoint a council of five Scottish Folds to act as my advisers.
Also I declare Scots the official language of the state.

If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahCopypasted from the OTC thread:
First, I would destroy all corrupt elements in the former government, business and other high positions (since it's Serbia we're talking about, that would end up being a massacre). Afterwards, I would create a judicial system that, for a change, works. The next priority would be nationalizing a large part of the private sector, revitalizing the industry, improving agriculture and building infrastructure. The next step would be bettering the educational system. Afterwards, I'd probably call for democratic elections.
The sin of silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.I would devote as much of the economy as possible to eliminating fossil fuel usage as quickly as possible, as well as putting enormous amounts of funding into climate change-related research and development. (I don't just mean a few billion dollars; I'm thinking more like hundreds of billions annually. We can get most of it from the U.S. defense budget.) Avoiding the worse scenarios for climate change should be the top priority by far.
Second priority would be withdrawing from all wars. That would go nicely with the first, since I'd be making massive cuts to military spending anyway.
Other significant priorities would include implementing more progressive taxation, improving the education system, strengthening the social safety net, and reimplementing democracy. The whole democracy thing would have to wait until climate change is being properly mitigated and adapted to, though, since people have been doing a pretty terrible job with that one so far.

First step: don the Iron Crown of Lombardy
, to set the tone for the regime.
Second step: Start an R&D program big enough to phase out fossil fuel use within a couple decades.
Third step: establish a national classical education curriculum.
Fourth step: Start grooming a child to be much better at this job when he grows up than I am.
“Love is the eternal law whereby the universe was created and is ruled.” — St. BernardDunno what I'd do as a dictator. Appoint a bunch of people to run the government and then go have fun.
As I understand it the economy needed the war effort to continue functioning and without that stimulus would have collapsed under its own weight eventually anyway. Another thing people often overlook is that the German economy was recovering anyway at the time Hitler came to power, and there's a good probability that if the Nazis failed in 1933 they wouldn't have gotten a second chance.

The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.

As I recall from my poor historical classes, Germany's economy under Hitler was not bad. I might be wrong, though.
