Yeah,
I'd be a Monarch, and Ron Paul would be my Prime Minister.

likewise a thought about also having the freedom to abdicate...
and the ability to select a prime minister and a cabinet if not a gov't...
am thinking about the duchy of grand fenwick... an' the mouse that roared!
the irony is, Edward VIII is more remembered for his stepping away from
a worldly throne than anything he did when wearing the crown!!!

the campaign this year by ron paul had me thinking of the auld movie...
myself if toying with a title, EMPRESS suffices on the days when i am egotistical...
usually i am into an ayn rand egoism! however if one seeks to thwart a dictator for
life, having a more legitimate title is a way to play out the political game...

I used to play NationStates. Mine quickly became a corrupt dictatorship, though. And I honestly felt that I was good leader (don't all corrupt dictators think that, though?). Anyway, I stopped playing because the issues were so ridiculous and the options they gave would always have some crazy unforeseen result.

Though it is not my wish, I would accept.
I would try to be a good King after the model of Solomon or Arthur.
A benevolent Monarch could offer much, but there have only been a few "good" Kings.
