Rules laws and damned regulations; they’re everywhere and all-encompassing. So many laws yet the world is lawless.
If I were king I’d scrap ‘em all and replace them with just three, written in plain English and needing no interpretation by lawyers or judges. While I'd love to ban the wearing of tracksuits and joggers outside of training environments, I mean they're so unbecoming and make people look slovenly, I'd never get away with that. Besides, I'm not really the banning type of gal.
So, first: Do not knowingly cause damage to the person or property of another… and when I say cause damage I don’t mean offending with hurty words or refusing to use a preferred pronoun.
This rule would solve a myriad of problems. Substances injurious to health, present in almost everything we use and consume would be withdrawn, reducing pollution in the air, land and water and we'd all live more healthily ever after. I contend that these poisons are responsible for many of the health conditions we’ve seen develop in the last hundred years.
Not so long ago it was not uncommon for people to enjoy a relatively healthful existence well into their 70’s, despite no access to modern medicine. These days almost everyone seems to be taking some pill or other to treat, but never cure, some condition or other.
It would also put a stop to the madness of jailing people for voicing their opinions, for their posts on social media or for making stickers saying 'It's ok to be white.'
No victim, no crime. Make common sense great again!

Second: Live and let live, or in other words, mind your own damned business. Unless the actions of another are curtailing your freedom, or he is breaking my first rule, leave him the hell alone. Each man to his idiosyncrasies! Why would it concern you how another chooses to live as long as he extends the same courtesy to you?
Third and most importantly, anyone mentioning diversity, equality or inclusion, cultural appropriation or unconscious bias will be immediately hanged...well maybe not hanged, but certainly banished.
Sure I'd have a little paradise in no time at all. There'd be queues at the border.
Persuade me otherwise:)

asking 'If you were the ruler of your own country what three rules would you set for the population?'
The images are my own
You have some really nice rules that your subject would benefit from, it sounds like your country would be a nice place to live and would be mostly, if not entirely, devoid of the situations we face all over the world right now. I see also that you have your executioner lined up to handle those who feel inclined to flout the laws; a nice choice I think too.

I think that once you get yourself a good executioner, everything else will fall into place:)
I'm working on my Visa application. Should arrive Tuesday!! Sounds mighty... Deirdyville
Closing date is Monday! And it's Weirdyville!:)
Where can I get my passport? Or do I even need one?? :D
Passport? You? Not at all. It'd be the red carpet and freedom of the city!:)
Why thank you kindly :)
That's a tough one. Every time I think of a grand rule, I think of its ramifications. Certainly, yours are tempting. Mind your own business has always had a great ring to it.
Tempting? I'm delighted to hear it. And here I was thinking that with your gentle disposition you might balk at the hangings ㋛㋛
😂
I want to live in your country!
Also...hanged...I am a big fan of whipping too, the old cat'o ninetails style. ✅
I have an opening for Executioner in Chief!:)
Oh yeah, great! I just handed my resignation in so will be virtually immediately available to start!
Welcome aboard! All I need now is a country!
Lol.
