If you live in a country which has a king, If I were king and If I were the king mean If I were the king of this country, my country , and If I were a king means If were the king of any country . If you live in a country which has no king, only If I were a king would make any sense, of course, unless the conversation was about some other country that had a king. CJ

If I were you, I would make the question more clear so that we can help you.

If I were king, (then…….what). You need to finish the sentence. By itself, it means nothing.
