[ WP ] You 've finally done it : unquestioned world domination . The planet is entirely under your control . Now what ?

„You did it Mark! We have just received word from China that they accepted our proposal and will acknowledge us as their new form of government immediately. Our guys are on their way right now, in order to install the platform and they should be up and running in no time. “ 
 
 Mark sighed. It had been a long journey. For years now, he had been trying to unite the world, for its own good. For the advancement of humanity as a whole. With China finally agreeing to support his proposal, his journey had come to an end. 
 
 “ Thank you Sheryl, it ’ s good to hear they have finally come to their senses. ” 
 “ It is indeed. But let ’ s be honest Mark, after the UN recommended us as their successor, this had to be expected. ” 
 “ True, but I never thought this day would come so soon. I often thought I ’ d never see this day at all! ” 
 Sheryl left his office, to give her boss some time to celebrate by himself. 
 Although he seemed happy and relieved on the outside, what he could not hide from his mind was the panic that first overcame him as he heard the UN secretary general publicly supporting his idea 6 months ago. 
 It all had started with a stupid bet long ago. How addicted and reliant on a website can you make the general population of the world? His friends all told him it was impossible and humans were too smart. They would discover what he was up to and stop him. 
 He promised to prove them wrong. And today he did it. 
 Finally, all of mankind had a single platform to communicate and engage with each other. Governments would be run using the platform, elections would be held, taxes would be collected and salaries paid. It all seemed too unreal to be true. He had won the bet and completed the biggest social experiment in human history. And now it was in his hands to end it. Only one task was left: Delete it all. Every single bit of it. 
 
 Mark walked over to his MacBook, with a big sticker of their platform on the back of the screen. He logged in and accessed the console. 
 He typed “ run bet-completion ”, opening a simple screen showing a simple question: “ Do you really want to delete Facebook? Y/N ”. 
 He hesitated for a second. Could he really delete his life ’ s work, everything he had ever achieved? His finger hovered over the Y. He kept thinking and the expression on his face changed slightly. 
 Then his finger slowly began to move towards the N, pressing the letter, confirming his action with the Enter key. 
 A new prompt appeared on the computer: “ Deletion aborted, opening cheat menu. ” He couldn ’ t do it. The temptation of ultimate power was just too big. The cheat menu gave him access to everything on the platform. The faith of governments, corporations, even individual people, at the stroke of his finger. Each person on the planet under his control, he had achieved unquestioned world domination. He walked over to his window, which faced the garden that the company had created to keep their employees in sync with nature and thus productive. 
 
 Talking to himself, he proclaimed “ My people. All of them. ” 
 
 Slowly, a smile formed on his face and he started to laugh. His laughter grew bigger and louder by the second and it seemed it would never stop. 
 
 Outside his office, Sheryl was just about to leave for the celebration the company wanted to throw for the occasion, when she heard her boss ’ s laughter. It gave her shivers. She knew, something had changed and that nothing would be same from this day.
