If I were a king, I would have become a different personality.

Because the
responsibility of thousands of my subjects would have fallen on my shoulder. A king
is like a father to his subjects. A king must protect the people living in his kingdom.
He must look after their safety, food, education and health. A king should levy tax in
such a way that the subjects could pay it without much strain on their part. As he
draws tax, the majority of the money he should spend on their education, sanitary
system, irrigation system, transport facilities, road, tanks, agricultural land, industry
etc. If I become a king, I shall do all that. From time to time, I shall go out in my
kingdom in the disguise of a common man to find out their genuine problems and try
to solve them. As an administrator, I must be very strict and see that my employees
do not tyrannize over the poor subjects. My army should be made well-equipped with
modern weapons to fight any kind of calamity and be able to save my kingdom from
the attack of the enemy.
Ah, if I were a king! I am a poor child, born in a middle-class family. My life may look
monotonous, because everyday I am engaged in attending the same type of work,
such as reading, writing, going to school, and playing with friends and brothers and
sisters; yet I fell that my life is simple, and I cannot say that I am unhappy.

But if I were born a prince in a royal family, my lifestyle would have been completely
different from what I am today in this village, lying in a mud house under the thatched
roof with my poor parents who live from hand to mouth.

In a royal family, I would have many servants, always busy to look after my comforts.
They were on their toes, just to listen to my orders and comply with my wishes.

And when I would grow up, I would ascend the throne and become a king. As a good
king, I would be required to shoulder many responsibilities. I would try to become an
ideal ruler. I would have levied taxes according to the financial capacity of my
subjects, and not beyond their means.

As a tax-collector, it would be my duty to look after their safety and protection. After
keeping a reasonable portion of the total taxes for the expenditures of administration,
I would have spent the remaining part for the welfare of my subjects, by way of
building new roads, bridges, schools and colleges, hospitals and similar other
charitable institutions which would be used by my subjects.

As a king, I would have no desire to expand my kingdom, and hence would not go
for a war with any other country. I would try to maintain good relation with my
neighbouring countries. And if necessary, I would sign a treaty of peace for the better
existence of all of us. As an ideal king, I would do anything that is necessary for the
welfare of my kingdom.

But at the moment, I feel that it is better not to become a king who has to shoulder so
many responsibilities and perform so many important duties in honour of the crown.
So I think, it is better to remain as I am here in a poor family with my loving parents,
brothers, and sisters, and also the affectionate teachers of my school, and lead a
simple life among the simple and common folk around me.
As a king, it would be great to have control over all that occurs in the state and
building a place where you want to be and where everyone can be as they want to
lead their lives. Basically, building a Utopia is what is the dream of the kings so that
the subjects can live happily forever. There are many things to be undertaken by a
king if we look closely. 

Building the capital 

One of the most important job for the king is to build a perfect capital for all the
people so that they can come to the capital very easily and talk about their problems.

The placement of the capital must be such that it is accessible to everyone. So, I will
wake it just at the center of my kingdom. This is how I can control the kingdom with
equal rights for every subject and I will build small local courts so that all those who
cannot reach me at the capital may get the justice they deserve.  

Judicial System

Most of the places have a flawed judicial system. If I am the king, I would start
making the judicial system perfect by creating a well-made session court controlled
by me and numerous local courts. The judges of local courts will be handpicked by
me through tests of knowledge and wisdom.

It is very important that they get the justice and in that way, they will have total faith
on their king. It seems to be a bit of a problem to control the whole kingdom from a
single place, so local courts will be very necessary. If the people working there are
flawed and can be bribed the total Judiciary would crush. So, hand-picking is the best
option to secure the place. 

Communal Harmony 
People will never be stopped from practicing the religion they want to. They will be
encouraged to live their life on their own terms and perform all the duties as a fellow
citizen of the kingdom. All the citizens including ministers to factory workers will be
treated equally according to the law.

There will not be any scarcity of food because the farmers will not be burdened with
paying taxes. Only the higher class will be subjected to taxation so that an economic
balance is maintained in the society. Anybody trying to overpower another person or
damage their property with the help of money will not be tolerated and will be put on
trial according to the code of law. 
Strict punishments 

There are many criminals who are serious and continuous offenders in every place.
These are some people who need to be off the streets so that people can live
without fear. So, strict actions will be taken to the jail where they will be subjected to
punishments like caged for a lifetime.

This will make it simpler for other offenders to understand and leave the wrong way
of life. This is very necessary all around the kingdom and if I am building any place I
would make it safe. 

Proper Education 

Every kid will be subjected to minimum education. There will be a fund made through
the donations of rich people in the community and that will be utilized by the
government in the kingdom to carry on the scholarships for the needy students in the
kingdom.

My main motive as a king will obviously be creating a place will full educated people
where everyone is skilled at what they do. The equal education and a minimum of
skill learning will be made compulsory for everyone. The educational fees will be
made keeping every people in mind as it should never depend on monetary
perception. 

Proper Ministry

The ministers will not be selected through the same old tradition of family
succession. To become a minister everybody will be subjected to go through proper
examinations where their knowledge and honesty will be tested.

They will be subjected to go through medical tests and only then they will be
selected. Basically, to head a particular department one need to be the best and
bring out their best. This way, the ministry will not be flawed and every department
will be governed perfectly. 

Science and Technology 

The science and the research department will be a separate sector in the kingdom
where the enthusiasts will be encouraged to build better technology for the
advancement of the kingdom. To grow, every kingdom requires improvement and in
the modern world, only better technology holds the key to the new and better world.

The technology made will obviously be under scanner so that any fellow researcher
never gets the chance of creating machines of mass destruction. 

Army and Defence

The army will be subjected to a great amount of training and will be given the best
treatment from the kingdom as a token of gratitude for their service. The families of
all army personnel will be given facilities to keep on with their living. The army will be
under three sectors including naval troops, air troops and land troops.

They will be given the best weapons and technology so that they can easily protect
the kingdom from foreign invasion. They will be frequently given medals and awards
as a gesture that the kingdom also respects the fact that they stay awake at night so
that we sleep peacefully. 

Final Verdict

The final verdict will always be from my mouth as the king before any department
taking a particular decision. The final say proves that the control over the kingdom
will stay in my hands. It will, therefore, be governed according to my will and
therefore no harm will be done to the subjects and they can carry on with their happy
life in their own perfect way.

This is how I will control my kingdom, so that it may flourish with improvements in
technology, having a stable economy and keeping a communal harmony. Everybody
deserves a life worth living and not some burden and this will be the word of advice
for all my fellow subjects. It will be a great experience looking at a Utopia built by
me.
