Not only will you die, but so will your entire family and your pets.

This is so you are incentivised to stay alive.

Rules:

  • You cannot refuse this, refusal is also instant death, along with everyone mentioned above.

  • You have absolute authority over the entire world.

  • Every person has a non-removable brain implant that allows them to vote “Approve”, “Disapprove”, or “Abstain from vote”. These are completely immune to hacking.

  • Every above age 18 can vote.

  • You must maintain 50% + 1 vote of “Approve”, exactly 50% Approve / 50% Disapprove still means death for you. “Abstain” is not a vote means it isn’t counted.

  • The effects don’t apply until at least 50% of the population has voted. If you get more 51% disapproval, you’ll still live as long as theres less than 50% of the votes submitted.

  • If someone dies before voting, their vote automatically becomes “Disapprove” (So you don’t get any ideas of committing genocides)

  • Once a vote is submitted, it stays valid even if the person died. A person could also make their implant automatically change vote if they die. So someone could have their vote be set at “Approve” but becomes “Disapprove” upon death.

    Send out a mailer periodically to everyone in the world say how your government helped you and your family this week.

    Pay a bunch of influencers to speak nuanced praise. Yes, it’s a propaganda machine, but without one, disapproval would arise based on completely non-factual bases.

    Institute a fair taxing system, that allows successful people to get reasonably far ahead, to a limit, but does not leave others behind at their expense.

    Train up a large joint military exclusively in de-escalation and disaster response. Squabbles between belligerent parties would just be flooded with this neutral force to mediate the issue and ease tensions as quickly as possible.

    Tackle worldwide issues of health and disease, climate change, food security, shelter, social mobility, education, transport. Each country would be incentivized to make their own countries’ resilient, but other neighbours would chip in resources if one is falling behind or is hit by disaster. Institute worldwide minimum safety standards for all labourers and empower individuals to report unsafe conditions.

    Slowly modify religion (release new versions of the Bible, Quran etc. that remain mostly true to their origins but emphasize the “be nice to each other” parts and remove the “kill anyone that doesn’t believe this/doesn’t follow these rules to the letter” parts). Bring leaders of these religions together to discuss promoting inter-religious peace.

    Hold annual community pride, national pride and world pride days, to celebrate humanity’s accomplishments, establish unity and comradery with your neighbours, and an opportunity to give casual feedback to your local authorities, national authorities, and me (before they hit the disapprove switch, hehe).
