1.) Law to make me eternal king of the city.
2.) Law to mandate my exorbitant salary and discretionary fund.
3.) Law to stipulate the various details of my city-provided harem.

You guys suck at genies.

Your town is now bankrupt.

I would mandate all sidewalks replaced by moving sidewalks.

Also I would wish for infinite towns

I think the state or federal government might step in.

I'm in Utah. I'm just returning the place to its roots.

Granted. You are now the eternal king of The City.

The City pretty much immediately falls to ruin because you don't know anything about economics, and most of your residents leave. With the economy unable to support your rule, the state has to intervene to save the region.

They charge you with gross neglect, and considering all the lives you've ruined, give you a life sentence. You're immortal now (eternal king), so they pretty much just seal you in a steel reinforced concrete box and drop you in the ocean.

Nothing happens for billions of years.

The sun expands and incinerates the earth. You can't die but you're in pain beyond imagining from all the heat and radiation.

This continues for a long time.

Eventually the sun expels the outer layers in a stellar nova and you are condemned to drift across the universe struggling for air for all eternity.
