MaGdee, over at Rosetta Stone, explains how to become an Arab ruler in 15 days. There are two options: one where you inherit power and the other where you take power in a coup. Needless to say, most of the steps overlap. Here's a taste:
Day 2:-
Free all oppositions groups and political prisoners. Promise them a new era of democracy and freedom of speech.
Day 3:-
Address your political party. Make sure they are preparing for a complete takeover in the next Parliamentary elections.
Day 4:-
Erase any traces of your predecessor. This include removing anyone from your cabinet who is loyal to your predecessor, street names etc.
Day 5:-
Announce your five-years socio-economic plan. (Basically, the same old plans used by your predecessor you just put your name on it). And Setup a bank account in Switzerland.
Day 6:-
Put the opposition back into prisons.
magdee, you have a point, but erasing all signs of the predecessor wouldnt make any difference than creating a communist dictatorship by ease within the political law of commerce, putting something outside to rot for years, and bringing in a new plan just doesnt follow through co-operatley...find a new plan...this ones like cheating the game in order to make it longer than it should be, it makes no sense...
