Hmmmm....King for a day, eh?
HM Technoviking? I like the ring of that.
Now, what would I do? And it's just a day, and I have to abdicate that next day at midnight? Well, I would stay awake the entire 24 hours, not wanting to waste any of the experience, that's for sure.
My question to myself is this: do I want to be a benevolent dictatorship, or a malevolent one? Methinks I'd make a better benevolent one, so, what to do?
Well, I wouldn't make
military service compulsory; however, I would make some sort of
public service compulsory. I mean, there are bonafide objectors out there, and the last thing I would want to do is to enforce that on people. Having said that, I feel that the state's rights (eg: the collective of my subjects) outweighs any individual's rights. So, I suppose the first order of business is to issue a Royal Proclamation, outlining Individual and Collective Rights and
Responsiblities of my loyal subjects.
Whereas Technovia is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of the people over individuals and the rule of law
The Technovian Charter of Rights and Obligations guarantees the rights and demands the obligations of its citzens.

After that, I'm not sure what I would do. I'd probably become personal champion for literacy for children, or something like that.
