If you were the ruler of the world...

Say, hypothetically, that you were the ruler of the world, and you could choose 5 rules or laws to enforce upon your people, what would they be? For me, I'd have to say:
-Everyone would be forced to wear a nametag displaying the person's first and last name (I svck with names, so this one's important)
-US Currency would go international, with one major change: no change (lol). Change svcks, everything that costed money would just be a dollar amount.
-The only taxes would be income taxes, set at about 50%. This would simplify the [censored]load of different taxes that the US uses.
-Gambling would be legalized everywhere, and all casinos would be run by the government. As a government run operation, winning any money at the Casino would be secretly impossible. This would give us a lot of money from gambling addicts, so they would actually be helping society.
-The punishment for any murder would be death, dealt to the killer in the same exact way as they murdered their victims. This would help to prevent extremely heinous murders that involve torture etc. Not going any further into this.

This seems political, but I'll bite:

I'd be a benevolent Supreme Ruler of The World, and act largely with a laissez faire attitude towards different nations. They could all retain their own governments, own currencies, religions, and customs. My job would be to act with a King Solomon Vote, deciding essentially who is right and who is wrong if ever a dispute breaks out, this avoiding wars when possible. Whether a good decision or not it would force a decision nonetheless. This would avoid the pointless stalemates and multi-decade spanning fiascoes that replace actual wars.

Because war is never totally avoidable, I would retain a private military force which would have mandatory contributions from all nations in the world. Any country acts up or tries to go rogue, and they face consequences. You just don't have a global empire and expect it to hold up forever without a show of force.

I'd also probably force the US to sign the Kyoto Protocol. Seriously.
