Absolute power is the equivalent of being at the top of a monarchy. You are the ruler, likely with the divine of kings (nobody can challenge you for some time.. since you have god-given rights/power). I would try to help my subjects so that they have a good impression of me. This would include: fixing potholes, helping out the poor, etc. I would create new job opportunities, and hopefully my artisans would create something great enough to attract merchants from other lands. I would make that my subjects have some amount of natural rights, but not too much that they’d want to overthrow me. I’d have a few advisers, ones who usually don’t agree with me, to help me see both sides of an argument. However, I would also be very strict and enforce laws, there would be no stealing or murder without punishment, without consequences for one’s actions.
