I figured these are always pretty fun to do, and I haven't seen one like this yet.
THE EVIL ORGANIZATION
What horrible, evil deeds are this world dominating organization up to?
1. Kidnap dragon eggs to raise their own flight of evil dragon minions.
2. Send envoys to demon, devil and daemonic leaders to gather outsider support for their armies.
3. Mass produce poisons to supply assassins throughout the lands.
4. Rile up monstrous forces such as orcs, trolls and goblins to cause chaos and force the armies of the resistance to waste resources.
5. Kidnap and torture known wizards and steal their spellbooks. Then, their own arcane spellcasters are allowed to learn an enormous quantity of spells to boost their potential.
6. Plant seeds into governments so as to manipulate the rulers into making critical errors.
And let's keep going on from here!
#7 Overnight delivery service.
#8 Oracle Trade Union.
9. Paladin Re-training Centers
10. Poison all the wells and have your casters make a fortune off of create water.
How brilliantly evil! And here's some more comedic ones.
11. Kamikaze Gnome musicians. They start a tune, gather a crowd and then poof, disappear!
12. Planar Gates letting the kender in.
13. Stealing dwarf bears and elf ears.

14. Dispatch suicide cells and expendable mercenaries to attack government or religious officials. Frame it to make it look like villages are rising up against their leaders or churches, then offer your services to put down the uprisings.
15. Put down the uprising using methods design to maximize future unrest and reprisals.
16. In a manner, similar to 14 and 15, cause wars between rival organizations or countries.
17. Infiltrate these organizations with people who can fan the flames and actively make things worse.
18. Assassinate anyone who is level headed enough to figure things out and put a stop to it.
19. Use all of thee above, with the ultimate goal of killing anyone who believes in a god and thus wipe religion from the planet.
20. Use 19 in a world where the power of a god is tied to their followers(like Forgotten Realms). Once the gods are weak enough, kill them. ALL OF THEM.
This was the actual plot in a long running Forgotten Realms campaign of mine.

21. (As 20 but also) Cast a carefully worded Wish to remove all Knowledge of the Gods from peoples minds. Even if people get a will save, the vast majority of people should fail, more than enough to enact the previous plan!

23. Use alchemy and magic to artificially enhance a common white mouse. Find out his Int is 3, his Wis is 20, and his Cha is 20. Sigh, change formulas, and try it on a second mouse. Find out his Int is 50, his Wis is 1, and his Cha is 3. Assign the Brainy mouse the job of taking over the world. Give him the idiot as an assistant to balance out his lack of common sense.
24. Take control of the world's mines. Sell all those expensive material components adventurers burn through on a regular basis to only those who support your villainous agendas, or just hold the mines hostage until you get what you want.
25. Systematically enthrall the worlds most powerful kings and queens.
26. Make the civilians of the world love you to the point where they wouldn't believe what the hero is saying and would instead run them out of town.
27. Gift the worlds greatest warriors with cursed intelligent weapons that have insane EGO scores but have your goals at heart. The curse is that the weapons cannot be relinquished.
28. Kidnap the magically talented as young as possible and mind wash them to become an elite unite that captures other magic users and destroys everyone else.
29. Somehow make a magical pact with the wraiths and ghosts of the incorporeal world, using them as your army.
30. Open a multitude of Inns and taverns selling a special ale. The ale has a powerful drug that will get anyone who drinks it addicted (or almost everyone).
31. Enthrall the children of the world and use them as your army. How many people would cut down a child that doesn't know what they're doing?
32. Get private meetings with the worlds most powerful people, secretly make them drink a philter of love. Ask politely for subtle favors that in the end give you complete power!

33. magically creating half-dragon/half-everything else hybrids in an elaborate conspiracy to discredit dragons by making them seem like the ultimate perverts.

34. Wraith or Shadow Apocalypse
34. Just wing it.
35. Use the "Things I'll do if I ever became an Evil Overlord" as a guide to rule the world. I'll just start in a setting where I already rule the world.
38. Gather together all the world's bags of holding and portable holes to make a weapon of mass destruction the world has never seen, threatening to place them all together to destroy all of reality as we know it unless your ransoms are met.
