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.
What’s with all the executions?
You raise a good point.
I think what might be a better idea would be to take every person who is slated for execution and they are allowed a 5-minute clip but onto some sort of public broadcast where the world gets to decide. They can argue the reasons why they should be forgiven and the prosecutor will explain their crimes in great detail.
Then the world gets to vote and majority rules. That would help me be seen as a merciful dictator so it’s a win-win all the way around. Plus it would also help me weed out people that were wrongly convicted or people where the law is too strict for the crime.
