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.
How much control of the media do I have? Will fox news be all “president figjam helped raise 2 million people out of poverty with YOUR tax dollars!”
How frequent are the votes?
You have absolute control of the media. However, keep in mind, if you start censoring things, people might not like it and “disapprove” of you, and if you have 50% disapprove and you’re dead.
Votes are basically always active.
Basically like how social media has your “status” set like your mood being happy or sad. This is similar, but Approve or Disapprove.
Once its set, it remains that way until changed. But people could also set it up so that it auto switch to “Disapprove” upon dying, as a dead man switch, to disincentivise you from killing people. And if someone dies before interacting with the voting system, its an automatic “Disapprove”. (Basically, don’t start doing massacres or your disapproval will rise)
Basically, you live as long as less than 50% are “Disapprove” or if there are less than 50% of the votes submitted.
“Abstain” doesn’t count towards the approve/disapprove numbers, but does count towards the vote percentage. (Example: If you have 25% disapprove, 20% approve, 5% abstain, and the remaining have not yet interacted with the voting system, total vote count is 50%, and your disapproval (of those who voted) is higher, so you are dead.
TLDR: There are no election cycles, you are constantly judged.
