What is the most recent time period in which one could be transported to (with full 2012 knowledge), and still have a high chance of taking over the world, or at least a powerful country or nation-state?
I think that given all the powers that are provided, you could take over the world now. Admittedly, most of that power is provided by the immunity to akrasia.
I’m not convinced this is a simple cutoff. In particular it seems like it would be easier to take over the world during time periods when there exist large empires that have done some of the work for you.
