Am I a worthy ruler? Well we all like to think that we would be. But power is like strong liquor: very tempting, very addictive, and easy to get drunk on. Many politicians enter office with the best of intentions, only to become "part of the machine".

1. Rulers should follow the same rule as physicians: "First, do no harm."
2. Abuse of power, and not doing anything to prevent or punish corruption.
3. First, I would consider it part of my responsibility as a ruler that my own needs are secondary to those of my country. To keep the country happy, I would strongly defend civil liberties (including free expression and liberal culture), while also taking a laissez-faire approach to economic policies so as to encourage economic growth & prosperity.
4. Neither. I would choose my advisors based on merit and expertise. I would make it a point not to surround myself with yes-men.
5. Personal fear of war is (or should be) irrelevant to a ruler. Offensive wars should be avoided at all costs. Defensive wars should be prepared for, but also engaged in only after diplomacy fails.
6. That citizens have their own lives and priorities, and do not exist for my bidding. Gov't is there for the benefit of the people, not vice versa. "Great deeds" should be great for the citizenry, not just for a ruler's legacy.
