What if someone asked you to be King or Queen of the World? Would you say yes?

Ray! When someone asks you to be a god, you say “yes!”
Ghostbusters would have had an entirely different ending.

Fred Pohl has the right answer at the end of Plague of Pythons:
“Chandler went back into the building and brewed some strong black coffee. While it was bubbling on the stove he slipped the coronet back atop his head. Only for a while, he promised. A very little while. He pledged himself solemnly that it would be just long enough to clean up all loose ends—not a moment longer, he pledged. And knew that he was lying.”
Why only a Queen? Empress is a more important title.
Wel title wouldn't matter. What would matter is being able to do the most good. Perhaps the best idea is to focus on one specific thing. For example you could use your island for refugee's to go. Perhaps though I could instead just as God to turn me into a magical genie. Everyone gets 3 wishes except no murder or crimes are allowed and the amount of money you want can't go past 100.000 thousand dollars. Or maybe everyone gets one wish a year.

Y'know, this is basically the same as Q offering to let Riker join the Continuum. Riker said no, and you'll have noticed by now (I hope) that you're not getting much of a sincerely enthusiastic acceptance here, either.
I "play god" when I'm gaming. Actually, I try to leave religion out of my Civilization games as much as possible, just including enough to stave off civil disorder. I build the religion-based Wonders for the points, not because I think my civ actually needs them.

...I'd check the credentials of the "someone" to see if they have authority to appoint a global monarch.
If forged, (i.e. written in crayon) they would be referred back to a local mental health expert.
If valid, (i.e. proof of their global conquest) they would be referred back to a local mental health expert.

I wouldn’t want to be ruler, but if I was pushed, I have a few policy preferences.
Free Healthcare
Free social care
Free childcare
Free education
I’ve not given it any thought, but I’d fund it all through a duel currrecy system that allowed public sector financing and borrowing to be independent of the main currency, that would be valued by private capitalism. Stability would be ensured by an exchange rate controlled by a magic formula that only I understood.

New Zealand (as I remember) was pretty much that AND they have a pretty cool female Prime Minister.
The whole question is stupid.
You didn't give the ruler of the world god like powers. So he's just like all the rest of rulers trying to make people do what they want and then using force when they don't. As hypothetical questions go this is pretty fail
Yep - the job pretty much MUST come with "ultimate power (TM)", or it's off...
If you can put up with the other two... New Zealand LIVES by Rugby, Racing, and Beer. Certainly my parents generation.
Having never had the pleasure of being caught on an over crowded train full of rugby hooligans, I could certainly give put England and it’s football to my rear.
Someone that has compassion for animals ruling the planet?? Perish the thought, probably the sort of person we would need. Going beyond the morality of it the meat industry is unsustainable.
And the worlds highest teen suicide rate.
