Moderate social freedom.
Freedom of speech and religion mostly very high, only direct hate speech is banned.

Only at war with North Korea.
Non-bureaucratic government that ensures stuff gets done fast.

I would become East Korea, the triplet that would always tattle to the UN whenever my siblings started arguing or whenever South Korea wouldn't share its robot toys or North Korea its nuclear toys.
If I had my own country I'd probably be a dictator. Yes, I value political freedom but democracy is inefficient. I'd want to set up a strong foundation for the nation with decisive action. Once the infrastructure is complete I'd probably step down and become a figurehead with no real power but strong influence.
Policies I Would Encourage:
Strong Personal Freedoms - right to do what you want to your body so long as it doesn't harm anyone else.
Public Transit System - funded well enough to make private transit unnecessary.
Public Education - mandatory public education through college level for everyone, no private schools.
Public Welfare - no individual pay but homeless shelters that provide basic amenities to all who enter.
Public Healthcare - completely free hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes.
Small Military - Nation defended by 5 gundam pilots.
Free Contraceptives and Abortions for women who qualify (not past 1st month of pregnancy).
No Death Penalty - Prisoners killed if they request death.
First, decriminalize all drugs, legalize prostitution, allow freedom of AND from religion (meaning heavy penalties for discriminating against someone for being irreligious as well as religious.)
Then nationalize all essential industries (power, oil, food, radio, television, anything that is an absolute necessity for everyday life), increase funding in infrastructure and public transport, place strict regulations on large businesses, progressive taxes, abolish patent laws, reform management education, reform regular education, and reform the prison system.
Establish social security net for the poor, homeless, and unemployed; write a constitution giving every person the right to food, water, homes, employment, healthcare, fair treatment, self-defense, and information.
Balance the defense budget, invest in light and heavy industry, ban nuclear power, enact policies to keep the water clean and safe to drink and the land to be free of pollution and littering and despoilment, pour funding into the research of renewable energy.
I will make public appearances frequently and let any man speak freely against me, I will cultivate a cult of personality to ensure my people love and support me as their ruler, I will make my legacy sacred to those who prosper under my rule.
Finally, ban wars of aggression, fund a strong defense force for my country, and declare my state to be a constitutional monarchy.
If I have any neighbors, I will establish excellent trade relations with them and provide support whenever they ask, while I establish a massive spy network to keep an eye on everyone around me and sabotage, blackmail, and assassinate anyone who poses any real threat to me.
I will ally myself with my neighbors and establish a federation to spread my laws and principles far and wide.
If said magic also gave me knowledge of politics and leadership too, then i guess i would try to be friendly to our neighbors, and try our best to stay out of wars,
I guess i would have a bunch of people who specialize in different things, and i guess my job would be to decide who does what,
I would try to keep things as lawful as possible, without being too strict.
And... uhm... i guess that's it,
i don't really know anything about leadership. ._.

Good flag for you:
Seriously, that's exactly what I thought when I started reading.
Hm... I think about this a lot. My country's government would be a hybrid communist-democracy. The economic system is communist while the government is completely democratic. Education and the sciences would be emphasized, so that all finished products would be internalized, as would most of the economy. The only economical contact with the outside would be for tourism, entertainment (music, movies, etc.) and buying raw materials. Free speech and whatnot would be encouraged, as would religion. As it is a communist economy, the government would distribute all needs and necessary services, such as food, clothing, power, running water, and telephone and internet connection. Remember when I said it is a communist economy? Well, it is a mostly communist economy. Each citizen also gets an equal number of credits every month, to buy things not needed, such as a bigger TV, traveling, games, etc. Illegal aliens would be deported, with no chance of getting citizenship. Children born to illegal aliens would not be granted citizenship. Children must be born to citizens or those going through the process of becoming a citizen to be granted citizenship. Military strength would also be stressed. We would also have the continuing mission of boldly going where no one has gone before.
I like this, seems like what America should be by now, but get rid of jails all together we waste so much money on jails, just kill them off automatically, well the rapists and killers and Pedos anyway. For small time crimes people can just wait in the Police Station or something. I would lower the taxes however and would also imprison most liberals as they are stupid and can't comprehend this world from a "utopian" style one.
Anyway yeah.. also have a massive military, also have no welfare or any of that. Ghettos if any will be demolished within a months time.
1. EVERYONE who enters the country must pass an I.Q Test.
2. Gay Marriage is allowed.
3. Religion is banned / kept to a minimum to avoid conflicts.
4. Piracy is allowed.
5. The currency will be in the form of "Fiddy's", eg, Three'Fiddy, Two'Fiddy etc.
6. Death penality will exist, but only for SERIOUS cases, (Paedophiles, Serial Killers etc.)
7. Education and Healthcare will be free.
8. My Little Pony lovers are widely accepted, just as they keep it to themselves.
9. Every year there will be a parade dedicated to "THE ALL-MIGHTY INTERNET".
10. Taxes are slightly high, but only due to the free Healthcare and School.
11. Just off the coast of my country, there will be an underwater city called "Armageddon", it will be devoted to science, it will also be used as a prison for /b/.
12. I'm the only one in charge, I have only close friends and family to advise me, no fancy-ass people with "Degree's in Economics" etc.
you should get rid of your red scare. and please, get informed of what communism really is. what it is supposed to do and also. NONE OF THE CLAIMED COMMUNIST COUNTRIES ARE REALLY COMMUNIST. THERE AUTHOTARIAN.
Really? China's not communist? Then how come their system sounds EXACTLY like that?
Also, AUTHOTARIAN?
Everything is privatized besides the military.

Large subsidies to companies that are exploring and colonizing space.

You can have authoritarian communism. Just like you can have libertarian communism.
But I prefer Libertarian Socialism.

Communism isn't evil. It's a system that looks good on paper, but doesn't work with how people like to think.
Generic Fascism!
"People" being a minority of the population who are basically psychopaths.
This. Yes.
You skipped mine. I am disappoint.
So what you're saying is that communism only goes against psychopath's thinking?
