I'm a huge history buff/lover, so of course I'd pick my favorite civilization, Rome. Around 100 a.d. and I'd be the emperor. I'd be in charge of the most powerful civilization to ever exist. It was the richest and largest in the known world. I'd make it bigger, richer, and basically fück everyone up with the Roman Army.
Are there any other history lovers who want to chime in? :fa:

At first I thought the Gilded Age in the United States. While sad because the rich got richer while the poor got poorer it was also an age where some houses built were,in todays money, worth over 3Billion dollars. Fact is if I had that financial security I could spend more time for relaxation and pushing my bodies limits.
The obvious downside of course is the lack of knowledge. Financially,ethically,morally and academically. The didn't share the money equally,they didn't treat people with respect,they were close minded,and they didn't allow proper education to the poor/disabled.
But now that I think about it....I would like to begin a place of my own. It would focus on avoiding mistakes that folded past Empires like Rome
? in which they tried to branch out to much. What I am going to say next is something very close to me,it is something I have long thought about... If I did have control over an Empire/Planet/Whatever I would not allow those with sicknesses,Mental or Physical into the main colony. They would go to a medical sector for test to prevent the mistakes in the future.
I do not believe they are animals or worthless but rather opportunities. Chances to prevent future broken hearts and to further stregthen the state.
