Highest IQ thread award tbh.
It depends which country though.
In mine I would stop being the puppet of Washington and try to lead the cohalition of the non-aligned as a small "great-power".
Meanwhile, I'd try to keep colonies by stopping being a dickhead towards the local populations, give equal rights to everyone (equal education, vote, local parliaments for local issues, more common trust and less army detachment, etc), and developing territories to build a better future for all. Profiting from them fresh tax payers who also happen to be more conservative than my main population.
I'd ban some kind of retarded ideas coming from the US (2nd wave feminism, deconstructionism, etc.), promoting other good stuffs coming from USSR (more state controle over a lot of things, legit social issues such as class struggles, one job/place guaranteed for every citizen, etc).
Create a public cult devoid off the retarded ideas from christianity (self hating) or islam (bombs and knives everywhere), mereley in order to promote the respect of the male institution, sacralizing woman and men for their own functions. Using famous religious figures to do so, forcing them through torture or luring them with well paid jobs.
