Imagination and the Ideal World

Imagination is one of the great attributes of the human mind and enables all of us to escape from our programed lives and live in an idealized world of our own creation. In my case it is my Walter Mitty complex. At times I have been a Czar, a Sultan, a President, a King, an Emperor, a Shogun, a Pope, and a Master of the Universe. Now that I have supreme control of everything what would I do?
First of all I would acknowledge that I am simply an animal that has achieved this level of distinction, and based on my experience as a human being I would create a body of laws that would govern our behavior. These laws would be based on a consensus of human experience , and not on any divine laws or supernatural influences. In some respects it would reflect Plato's Ideal Republic, where each man achieves his position based on his performance and at the top would be the Philosopher King, accepted by all. This is truly an ideal state and unlikely to occur. 
Given the world as it is I would establish a limited world authority of some kind based upon democratic principles and the spirit of Federalism.
There would be a rule of Law and not the rule of Force. Each nation could retain its own language and customs and its only restrictions would be its inability to declare war on its neighbors. Any differences would be decided in an international Court of Justice. An international police force would be required and should be strong enough to overcome any sovereign nation. A legislature would be created based on the "triad" principle, namely population, gross national product, literacy. Man has created the means of his destruction (Nuclear War), but Man, given his intelligence, should be able to find a solution to his survival.

Success

There are many definitions for success but one of those I like is that created by Bessie Anderson in 1904.

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much: who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it , whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction.
