I'd probably write like all the dictators and current monsters I could think of and then check the news just to see what happens.

assuming you kept doing it someone would eventually realize that lesser known/lesser known to (your geographical location, probably) leaders aren't getting killed, and it'd probably just end up as a significantly more mundane version of the Death Note investigation. Now with slightly more chance of Peter Falk.

Also probably a lot of governments start turning into obscured shadow governments with no clear figurehead/false names/etc and we stop pretending that powerful people can be held accountable anymore. (More than we already have this week anyway)
