A common interest among masterminds of the criminal underworld, but a cohesive attainable goal?

Let's say you took over the world, then what? How would you police it? What would stop someone on the other side of the planet from building an even bigger ray gun then your's? What would prevent them from making a pact with the devil in exchange for a wish and in turn using that wish to wish for the ability to bend you over the kitchen sink?

Don't buy anything from the ACME Company and don't force people into compact freight cars like cattle, it won't end well, and your plans for world domination will be like that plastic bag from American Beauty.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This isn't a topic I think about often, but once in a while a thought comes to mind and I would drift off thinking about what would happen once I get to the top. Seeing as how I know zilch about politics, I would need to procure some loyal henchmen and keep that loyalty under fear of death (their family gets murdered, they get to watch). A ruler of the world needs to be a tyrant, the way I see it.

My personal henchmen squad would consist of world's top 50 scientists to work on new technology, top 10 politicians to make up laws to be approved by me, top 200 doctors to advance global medicine into the new era, top 10 architects (3 of whom would work exclusively on my fortress) to give the new world a distinctive feel and world's top 5 lawyers just in case. My personal bodyguard will consist of the world’s top 20 assassins and top 10 mercenaries. I would also establish (or use existing) training facilities to make such assassins/bodyguards as Jason Bourne or perhaps with the help of my scientists develop a Super Soldier Serum or something similar to Cyborg Ninja’s exoskeleton suit (Crysis type suits would suffice).

Freedom of religion is fine by me and would not be interfered with. Cults (manipulating people into giving money, sex, services to the “overlord”), will be disbanded under penalty of death. It’s impossible to be loved by all, but I would certainly strive for the approval of majority. Even with 60-70% approval that’s over 4 billion people on my side.

Education system would be one of my top priorities. Taking a country with the top education system and highest average test scores and applying it to the rest of the world would do the trick. Wars would be abolished since there would be no reason for fighting for land as it will all belong to me and be unified under one flag. Individual republics would be established and governed by appointed people, but they would all answer to me.

Eh, I’m out of ideas at the moment.

Let’s hear yours.
