You have been randomly selected to become the leader of the world, but if you do not maintain more than 50% approval rating, you immediately die. How do you survive?
Not only will you die, but so will your entire family and your pets.
This is so you are incentivised to stay alive.
Rules:
You cannot refuse this, refusal is also instant death, along with everyone mentioned above.
You have absolute authority over the entire world.
Every person has a non-removable brain implant that allows them to vote "Approve", "Disapprove", or "Abstain from vote". These are completely immune to hacking.
Every above age 18 can vote.
You must maintain 50% + 1 vote of "Approve", exactly 50% Approve / 50% Disapprove still means death for you. "Abstain" is not a vote means it isn't counted.
The effects don't apply until at least 50% of the population has voted. If you get more 51% disapproval, you'll still live as long as theres less than 50% of the votes submitted.
If someone dies before voting, their vote automatically becomes "Disapprove" (So you don't get any ideas of committing genocides)
Once a vote is submitted, it stays valid even if the person died. A person could also make their implant automatically change vote if they die. So someone could have their vote be set at "Approve" but becomes "Disapprove" upon death.
