In that case you have no choice but to go on your knees and clean the floor with a rag.

I would use state resources to remake Game of Thrones

And I’d want a say in the writing

I’d also like to play League against the common people

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
--S. Huntington

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Why would I want to do petty shit as dictator? If I was granted supreme executive powers over a polity, said political power doesn't magically erase my moral obligations towards my fellow persons; in fact, I'd argue that (to quote the old cliche) with great power comes great responsibility. In addition, a virtuous sovereign would ensure that the citizenry is virtuous as well, leading by example so as to guide the people towards temperance, courage, prudence, and justice. This means that petty shit, morally speaking, should be avoided by the ruler. Does that make sense?
<ＴＨＥ ＲＥＰＵＢＬＩＣ ＯＦ ＡＤＡＭＳＩＡ>
The Republic of Adamsia was founded on the shores of Massachusetts Bay by the Puritans as a new Zion, as a 
theocratic utopia in the wilderness of New England. Adamsia has a culture that emphasizes duty, and stresses the good of the 
community even if (and especially if) it requires individual self-abnegation. The majority of Puritan settlers in early Adamsians 
were educated to some degree; as such, Adamsian culture has a generally "bourgeois" ethos and immense respect for 
intellectual achievement. While in modern times, religiosity and spirituality has waned somewhat, the zealous drive to achieve 
social and moral perfection has oft been labeled as "secular Puritanism" by detractors.

I concur with... myself, I guess? But surely minor and harmless acts, such as wearing those shiny goggles with spirals in them to official meetings, or spending taxpayer money on an elegant gold-plated statue of oneself to place in the capital, would be fine, right? Also, am I allowed to do this? Talking with myself, I mean.

My NS stats are not indicative of my OOC views. NS stats are meant to be rather silly. My OOC political and ideological inspirations are as such:
The Republic, by Plato | Leviathan, by Thomas Hobbes | The Confucian civil service system of imperial China | The "Golden Liberty" elective
monarchy system of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth | The corporatist/technocratic philosophy of Henri de Saint-Simon | The communitarian
ideological framework of the Singaporean People's Action Party | "New Deal"-style societal regimentation | Kantian/Mohist/Stoic philosophy

I'd be hiding out elsewhere, too.

As long as I have the ability to jump the wall, having any dictator is out for me -- including one that marches me into an auditorium to join ceremonial singing...
