Re: Nation question
It depends on what you mean by servant.And what kind of nation are we talking about here? I'd rather be a Oligarch of the late USSR than a faceless factory worker in Imperial Britain.
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
Re: Nation question
Really, this is a case-sensitive decision for me.
Like Justiciar, I could not be a factory worker in Imperial Britain, but I would not, like to be a higher up in the USSR for morality reasons.

So long as it wasn't a small nation in Africa or Latin America, I'd be glad to rule it. There's a tendancy in those two regions to cycle through many leaders in relatively short periods.
Something like Luxembourg or Lichtenstein would be just perfect.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
Re: Nation question
Ruler of the small nation, but I would be scared that the power would start to go to my head.

Re: Nation question
Actually AUstralia is a massive nation, Australia is almost larger then the US!
It would take a few monthes to egt from the East Coast to the West Coast of Australia.
I would be the servant of Australia, and what type of servant would I be? Probaly the person who stands by Parliment door and during meetings, shovels all the crap away.
