You're the president of a democracy and your army just deposed a dictator with a war. What's your plan to rebuild that country, and what's your exit strategy?

Invoke emergency legislation to gain more power and dissolve the government. Then, become the new de facto dictator.

Send your armed forces to the border areas for "military exercises" and slowly increase your national buffer zone. Coups are harder when the actual armed forces aren't in the capital.
