I think the Ibrahim Prize was created partly to “bribe” (incentivize) heads of state in Africa into being good leaders and respecting term limits. Iirc it’s the biggest prize for an individual in the world
There’s something about the fact that having dissolved justice system in order to rule, dictators are often afraid of stepping down, since there’s no legal process to protect them once they are no longer president. Thus, a credible island paradise where all countries in the world agree to send leaders who decide to peacefully retire would be a good EV; including good or mediocre rulers, so that there’s no incentive to be extra bad. Maybe it brings in bad motivation to rule in the first place, but I am sure we could figure it out by next April 1st and turn it into a post :D
TBH I do wonder if it would be possible to bribe plutocrats into stepping down. How much better off would Uganda be without Museveni?
