The perfect system of course, that needs constant refinement as social, industry and technology evolve without incentives such as money to motivate the population in working hard and anyone who disobeys is jailed. (þ:-«)

Government by a council of proven merit. Basically my society would be heavily socialized. Eduction would not be a private affair. The government would stipulate what subject matter was fair game for a test or merit badge and it would be tested periodically to have it granted to citizens. Passing a test would put a mark on your record that would allow you to do certain things like apply for certain jobs or vote on certain decisions. But each achievement would have an expiry date so that new material could be factored into the tests and people would be forced to stay relatively up to date to keep their achievements. The control committee would consist of about 20 to 30 of the most highly decorated individuals in society ie the people whom have studied the most subject matter and understand best what is going on. From every angle. Their job is not to make big decisions but to decide whom is capable of understanding the decisions. They set a requirement in merit badges such that individuals in the society who have the qualification are allowed to vote on the issue and those who don't are not. It depends entirely on the issue of course and perhaps politics of some people might come into play but for the most part the goal is to limit voating to those who have proven they can understand the issue.

I would make myself emperor, and then assign kings and other leasership roles based on a meritocracy. I would rule over the world, while the kings would rule over continents, then Governors over countries, and mayors in towns. The people can vote for their mayors, and the mayors can vote for Governors. I would settle international disputes that had to do with land or trade/economic matters. I would probably have my own continent and make sure to have the largest army to ensure my political power. I would also deal with extraplanetary matters, like earth. Needless to say I would have plenty of advisors and ambasadors to act on my behalf as well.

I would have a all power bureaucratic state, with a mix of Plato's idea of a meritocracy and a bunch of Authoritarian. Every citizen is born to the state, serve the state, and die for the State. After you are old enough for education you move to the Academy. It will be a highly competitive meritocracy. Those to stupid to pass phase 1 (lets say 16) are moved to the general labor group. Where they can work in industry, go to trade schools(if they want to improve their status), or be grunts in the military. the remaining students will continue training till like 22 when they are again screened where those removed are sent to work the bureaucracy , managerial roles in industry, research assistants. They will also get to opportunity their rank through additional training. The remaining will do a mix of in field work and further training to become leading figures in the different departments and finally they can join the Council when they are elder leaders. The Council will be the final authority and every thing else is ran through different bureaucratic departments. Everyone will be "employed" by the State and live in apartments given to them by the State. No land or building will be allowed to be privately owned. All citizen are require to work toward the perfection of the State. All dissent will be harshly silence, but that won't be the problem, because having all the children live within a State training facilities will help to indoctrinate them to serve the State and only the most loyal defenders of the State will have the Power.

This will be Dictatorship by Bureaucracy. Then once we have establish the Oneness of the State and all her fiercely trained and loyal citizens. We will forcibly convert Earth to the Oneness. Efficiency before the self.

And all Citizens will only be allowed to wear Hugo Boss.

Feudal. Me at the top, nominate friends and supporters all the way down. I'm sure we'd be fucked in a generation or two but what would I care, I'd be dead by then.

Just convince the peasants that God gave you the divine right to rule.

Create sections of land for people who agree to follow x rules. People are kicked out of sections for breaking rules. You end up with several flavors of government and a people who are more or less happy about following rules because there will likely be a section that fits them.
