    Grand Maester: Quiburn
    Master of Coin: Lord Petyr Baelish
    Master of Ships: Victarion Greyjoy
    Master of Whisperers: Lord Varys
    Master of Laws: Lord Eddard Stark
    Commander of the City Watch: Theon Greyjoy (I figure an archer would be better on the walls than a swordsman)
    Lord Commander of the Kingsguard: Barristan Selmy

    Other possible members:

    Doran Martell : Political matters
    Stannis Baratheon: Loyalty Investigator
    Roose Bolton: The King's Justice and royal Interrogator
    Brynden Tully: General in the King's Army

    And while I'm rulling the realm...

    Members of the Kingsguard:

    Barristan Selmy
    Jaime Lannister (as long as I don't burn down the city I should be fine)
    Garlan Tyrell
    Bronn (it's good to have resourceful fighter around)
    Syrio Forel
    Sandor Clegane (for the "dirty" business)
    Aero Hotah
    Some battles are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens. Tywin Lannister

    Hand of the King: Stannis Baratheon
    Grand Maester: Maester Kedry
    Master of Coin: Tyrion Lannister
    Master of Whisperers: Davos Seaworth
    Master of Ships: eh, Aurane Waters?
    Master of Laws: attached to the Hand's duties
    Commander of City Watch: Addam Marbrand
    LC of Kingsguard: Jon Snow

    Stannis as Hand? Not most politically flexible candidate, no, but utterly uncorrupt, 101% devoted to his duty, almost unquestioningly loyal, and capable enough, with other positions to fill in small gaps in his abilities. Tywin, while almost as devoted and probably even more capable, has no loyalties, does not care about the laws unless it suits him and puts his House before the realm. Tyrion would be unhappy with that serious and time-consuming duty, he couldn't do it with devotion like Stannis or even Tywin, he would whore and drink. I don't see him doing that job for years, and years, and years. In books he did a good job, but that was few months.

    The Hand of the King: Lord Tyrion Lannister
    Grand Maester: Aemon
    Master of Coin: Lord Doran Martell (don't want Baelish trying to backstab me in any way, and i'm sure Doran won't bankrupt the realm)
    Master of Ships: Victarion Greyjoy
    Master of Whisperers: Brynden Rivers aka Bloodraven (although he's technically not in the ASOIAF books)
    Master of Laws: Lord Stannis Baratheon (but no way in hell will I let him ban brothels!)
    Commander of the City Watch: Lord Eddard Stark (at least they won't be a corrupt city watch)
    Lord Commander of the Kingsguard: Barristan m'fing Selmy

    Brothers of the Kingsguard:

    Loras Tyrell
    Jon Snow (not taking the black of course)
    Oberyn Martell (as if he would ever join)
    Davos Seaworth (not the best of swords but would defend the king till death and an honest man)
    Areo Hotah
    Sandor Clegane

    My primary generals in battle would be myself, Tywin Lannister, and Stannis Baratheon

    Balon should be Master of Coin, he would pay an iron price for all crown's debts.

    Haha, many people would die, if he was the one managing the money and paying the iron price i wouldn't have any kingdoms left to run.

    The Hand of the King: Tywin Lannister (Come on people, he ruled the kingdom for 20 years and ensured peace in the realm even with an insane king. Why the does everyone vote for Tyrion. in one of the chapters when he is talking to his father in ASoS he is completely baffled by all of Tywin's political moves.)
    Grand Maester: Luwin (He is the only one that truly seems impartial which is what a maestor is meant to be)
    Master of Coin: Petyr Baelish ( Got to give him credit, he is bloody good at getting money)
    Master of Ships: Stannis Baratheon (Victarion, really? He was defeated in a sea battle by Stannis so he should be out of the running)
    Master of Whisperers: Varys (He has already proven his worth in this position and should be an aobvious choice)
    Master of Laws: Eddard Stark (One of the few places where his honour will actualy help him)
    Commander of the City Watch: Adam Marbrand (A good man, one of the few truly honourable Westlanders and his bravery will help too)
    Lord Commander of the Kingsguard: Barristan Selmy (We know he is a great fighter, honourable, brave and good at keeping secrets.)

    Tywin is a good choice as well but i envision my kingdom being a bit less malignant with Tyrion as hand. Tywin was the guy who went scorched earth on the riverlands and shows no care for the commonfolk: "A lion does not concern himself with the opinions of the sheep" is not a good motto for a Hand of the King. However, I don't negate the fact that he would be one of the best hands in all of Westeros management-wise.

    I believe that speech was only in the series and I refuse to use that as a basis for any characters.

    Tywin proved himself not only capable of keeping the kingdom at peace but of putting his daughter and Joffrey in place with a few simple words. Tyrion never managed that.

    I believe it was only used in the tv series but its pretty parallel to Tywin's personality in the books as well

    If Tyrion wasn't damned with deformity and had the same wits he carries he would go much further in life (possibly a Tywin 2.0), but the fact that he was so successful (for a time) considering his deformity and the perception mostly everybody has towards him solely based on that shows his cunning and adaptability to various situations (of course gold helped a lot )
