Queen For a Day: Science Fiction

Sign on the dotted line, pass the telegenic test, and you could be queen for a day of a small island in the Pacific. During that time, you get to pass five new laws or repeal ten, you get to wear fashions that you could never afford in your life, you get the best treatment, the best food, the best entertainment, the best everything-you-ever-wanted. And then you get a choice. Your choice depends on how the residents vote. You may only get to choose the method of your execution, but they've only done that to one ruler, and that was...well, he deserved what he got, and maybe giving him a choice was a little too kind. You may get to choose between life in prison (or until a future ruler wastes her pass by pardoning you) or life as an indentured servant (no pardon there, but a buyout is remotely possible, although the ruler can't help there, at least not explicitly). You may be restored to your previous status. You may be handed a lottery ticket. You may...there are all kinds of things that may happen. One thing's guaranteed, though; you can't leave the island. Once you sign on, you're in the system, you're on the show, you can't leave without penalty clauses that will make you wish you could have gotten that execution. In some cases, depending on if you have any medical conditions, the penalty clauses may actually *be* an execution.


Inspiration: "Capital G" + "I Don't Like the Drugs"
Story potential: Low.
Notes: Eh. Sorta interesting for a reality show-based premise, but I don't want a thing with a reality show-based premise.
