3) Patriotism may be the last refuge of the scoundrel, but it's a godsend to dictators. No matter what you do, say that it is to protect and secure the future of the country. If anyone disagrees with you accuse them of being 'unpatriotic' and throw them in jail. If anyone accuses you of being a Nazi/Communist/whatever, do the same to them.
Make the people believe that there is a clear and present threat faced by other countries, and use this as a premise for war. This should stir up patriotic feeling, which has the fringe benefits already discussed. It also means you can make far more 'ethically questionable' decisions without worrying too much whether people will oppose you or not. Hey, they're 'unpatriotic' if they do oppose you. (see America V Iraq for a perfect execution of this policy).
With a beefed up armed force, you should be ready to start taking over other countries. Tight control over the media should convince people that you are taking the 'right' course of action. Stifle opposition ruthlessly.

Originally posted by magick Im starting a politcial party called Wiltons, basically when we get into power ,our slogan is "threats win votes" we shall take over waterford city and rename it woganland and launch an invasion (using the boats in dunmore) to GreenLand, there we shall set up our city blakestown, now using ww2 blueprints we can then harness the resources and make some volksjager jet fighters and Heinkel 111 bombers and then launch an invasion of Iceland, now by doing this we shall then recive serious resistance both from the Irish Govt and the UN, however we can buy tme, by setting up a shipping blockade from the gap of iceland to greenland and charge shipping fees. Now this might piss off the Royal Navy but we will get decoy boats loaded with tied up hostages (from either freezeland aka greenland, or Generic Island aka iceland) and float them though the passage so the RN think their enemy ships and blow them up which with all the civilan deaths will not help the war effort for Woganlands enemys. the rest im currently working on..............
