The Cybernetic Conciousness (SMAX). The logic and reason of all citizens, the massive power, the telepathy and efficiency... We will rule the world.
Nothing to do with the fact that I already am...
In the real world, I'd choose the US today. The current US government (I don't just mean Bush, I mean this time period) has a great opportunity to shape the world. If they wanted to, they could remove massive amounts of the world pollution, to help the 3rd world develop (via the world band and IMF if necessary) and the ability to promote their ideals. The US almost dictates fashion, culture, economic management and politics to the rest of the developed world. It is the best opportunity to shape how the next century will develop, and the course the world will take. Not to mention the incredible respect from being the President.
However that is a lot of responsibility too, so being King of England would be great. Little to do, much money, and the best chat-up-line ever.
I would love to be patriotic and choose leader of England during the Empire, but I'd hate to live in Victorian England, and the Empire was utterly boring IMHO. All the back handed burocracy. And I don't fancy being a war leader. I'd rather have the power already than have to fight for it.Smile

Inca would mean many women in a huge harem, but I still went for Romans, where you could virtually do anything as emperor, though maybe only for a short time.
And where's Arabia
I want to be caliph, instead of the caliph!

if i were the germans, i would smash the french and the russians in 1905 when they were much weaker, comparatively, than i was.
if i were china, i'd've modernized like crazy, rather than allow the country to stagnate in confucian stasis.B♭3Comment

I would choose the U.S, but back in the day when everything wasn't set in stone. I would turn it into a Facist dictator ship, crush the Civil war, than build up a massive military power and march north.
Oh what fun that would be for me and my Facist Dictatorship Country.
Oh, I would also steal the name "Mother Land" just cause it sounds cool, and I would enforce Comrad, and Mate, into common language, again on the basis of it sounding cool.If you can't Dazzle them with Brilliance, Baffle them with Bull****.Comment

Emperor Oerdin has a nice ring to it. Or maybe I could Romanize my name and become Emperor Oerdinus.

The Spanish Empire in the mid-16th century would be great to lead and live in....and prevent the Armada disaster too.
Other than that, Victorian England at its height....a bit ironic but...whatever.
