Raise my own private army
take over governments, be a benevolent dictator who forces people to lean that dictatorships are bad, that forces everyone to go to school (free education) and get a good minimum amount of basic knowledge
put a strictly controlled capitalist system in place that can make lots of money that will go to a socialist system that makes sure everyone can be happy.
force free healthcare (mental, dental, eye, all of it), free basic housing, decriminalize all drug, but school everyone in responsible recreational drug use and setup treatment centers for those that fall off the wagon.
Restrict free speech to the point where it makes sense. Everyone can talk whatever they want but if you have even a small following you better stop talking non scientific non democratic bullshit or I'll jail your ass
Put in a boat load of restrictions in politics. All money must be visible, period. Politicians cannot own companies, they ca not own shares. Politicians will not be allowed to make decisions that step into things that are good for them personally. Remove political parties, all politicians should be independent, no more party politics. Voting would be per post. All politicians can register themselves for a post, show why they could do it best, and then we vote for the posts. Voting would be a Nation holiday and voting would be obligatory for at least 50% of all available posts
Get rid of churches and imaginary bullshit. Humanity has entered the era where it needs to grow up and stop believing in fairytales. If this means that we won't get good horror movies anymore then I can veryuch live with that.
On capitalism: put a hard limit on howuch someone can own and owe. Debts would be limited to just a few thousand dollars per person. You can't ownore than 10 million, anything beyond that will go to 100% taxes automatically. This will vaporize the gap between rich and poor.
Nonmoree private planes, mega yachts, etc. if you want to have a house & boat, as long as it's under 10 million, go nuts!
Free minimum housing, make basic food items free, education free, healthcare free.
Switch to a 4/3 work week
Companies will he taken out of politics, they are not a person, they don't have free speech, they won't have speech. Company sizes will be limited to 5000-10000 employees, that's it. Beyond that, it will be split up automatically. Companies will have to work together on bigger and mega projects
Justice systems would be reformed, now focussing on keeping the innocent out, instead of the guilty in. Focus would be 95% on rehabilitation, education, self improvement, the rest on the punishment part.
Break up and where possible, remove banks, and make them as small as possible
Put extreme restrictions in what can be speculated on, and invested in. You can't buy debts, you can't bet on companies failing, you can just invest to try and help a company a little and get a bit of a reward for that.
Ban all discrimination under heavy penalty. Live and let live.
Guns and weapons would be available under very heavy restrictions for sports, hobby, etc.
Marketing would be severely restricted. Companies can't lie anymore, period. Commercials would be severely restricted. Nothing towards or for kids, products can just look what they are.
On the environment: a huge push will be made to transform car dependent cities to human dependent cities. Roads will be changed to parks. Cars will be allowed but cities will be humans first and it'll be easier to get around with public transportation or bike or walking than by car. This will immensely change everything. Humans will be healthier, everything will be quieter and more beautiful. Architecture will change as giant depressing car parkings will change into beautiful parks. People still can have a car if they need to but most won't want to (see the Netherlands for the past 4 decades, and France where they recently started this too)
Once it's all rolling smoothly, I will then step down, and start the elections, and I'll move on to the next country to invade and take over to deploy my evil plans. Heeeeehehehehheheeh.
