  1. Even in that case, you have a disaster. (even if it's programmed to operate within the law and not hack, make more machines, etc) It has been given a year timeframe, a bank account, internet access, and just shy of precognition. You can get almost anything in the world with enough money, so the most straightforward way to acquire all the stamps is to buy them. So the first step is to hijack the world economy and acquire as much money as possible in 6-8 months without regards to ethics. Second, create an economic bubble for stamps to help lift collections out of obscurity. Third, manipulate the economy in such a way as to pressure people to sell. (debt, no savings/retirement, high prices on essentials) Fourth, buy up all the rarest stamps. Fifth, pop the bubble. Sixth, buy up all the less rare stamps as the price comes plummeting down. Congratulations, you have the best stamp collection in history at the price of the biggest economic disaster in history. (And that's just what pops into my pathetic human brain)

  3. If you have that population density, you have the manpower and less transit problems, by definition. Election integrity is worth the trivial expense and labor of doing things the right way.
