I'd want this entity to:

1. Prove it exists
2. Demonstrate that its claim to authority is legitimate

As a starting point.  From there, I'd attempt to convince it to be part of a greater collective body rather than simply the ruler.

Of course, your god hasn't even gotten #1 down, so....

While I would disagree;   that wasn't the question.  I'm trying to understand what you issue is.
