Probably fairly authoritarian until I die, or things are pretty settled down. We're talking a new world here, lots of room for error. I wouldn't trust a representative democracy with not fucking things up and killing everyone or becoming some weird bullshit centered hysteria state until things were fairly settled.

Psychological evaluations and tests for the people around me prominent in the government to try to weed out the kind of people seeking power for it's own sake, or at least keep them limited (if they are invaluable).

After transition, and there would be one eventually, I trust me, there would not be mandatory voting, but mandatory education on political issues. At the very least some kind of test to determine what issues are important to people, and what candidates align most with those beliefs. That way at least the people who do vote, don't get hoodwinked (people would be pretty freaking busy in a completely new world). In addition political terms would be 2 years, though unlimited. However, there would be procedures in place for recalls. Campaigning would be restricted to a single month long period, and there would be strict campaign finance regulations. Willful violations of them (and not just mistakes, people fuck up sometimes) would be considered treason, and would initiate a voting period where the public would get to decide the punishment, and I'm talking write in, the most popular suggestions are taken, and then voted on.

I think that is as good of a start as I could possibly give people tbh. After that it's up to them.
