Puritan
You call all the men (women aren't important to you) down into the ship's steerage, sitting them down in a circle around you. In front of you is a piece of paper.
"So," you begin. "I hear my policies aren't very popular with you."
"Damn straight!" says Moses. "We want our rights!"
You smirk. "Well. That's exactly what I'm giving all of you. I'm giving you your rights."
Moses appears taken aback. "Really? Good! Is that what that paper is for?"
"Indeed it is," you smile. "Just sign below on this paper and you'll get said rights."
All the men eagerly sign the paper and you dismiss the men. You count the names to make sure everyone signed. Yep. Now you look at the rights all people on the Mayflower now have.
1) I will not disobey the captain.
2) I will shut up forever.
3) I will not gamble or drink beverages of an alcoholic nature.
4) I will not have fun.
5) I will not procreate while aboard this ship.
You congratulate yourself for having averted a potentially captaincy-ending disaster.

A few days later the man in the crow's nest (Ryan the Horny, you stuck him up there because he was giving you just as much trouble as Moses. Now every time you get near the mast you look like a bird pooped on you) noticed that you have hit land!
Double congratulations! You have successfully landed your ship in New York City! Now you can begin the process of building your Puritan empire!
But wait...this doesn't look like the famed Big
