Amid rumors of the failing health of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il the Asian media outlets have put forth a variety of theories of who should succeed him. Yonhap has named Kim Jong-un as the most likely successor, but others argue it will be his older brother, Kim Jong-nam. Such crises of succession are prevalent in dictatorships for the important reason that dictatorships are run by a single individual with unlimited power. If the dictator dies before choosing a successor there are often dire consequences.
At the GNU Public dictatorship we are nothing if not progressive, and would like to point out that succession will not be a problem in the GNU Public Dictatorship's model. The advantages of being led by a Board of Dictators are not limited only to the distinct points of view we bring to the table, but clearly extend to crises of succession. As a member of the Board passes, another will be chosen to replace him or her, completely eliminating the power struggles that occur when a dictator passes without choosing a successor. There will always be some risk that all Board members die simultaneously (at least until we perfect our asteroid shield), but in that even it is likely that the world's population will be reduced to the point that tribal chiefs should be able to maintain law and order.
