    Can't happen at this point - cultures are too different.

    Much more local governments can keep the people happier - as they all want different things in different parts of the world.

    Which is what you have in every developed country anyway, so that's not such a huge obstacle.

    I think people still want to maintain their identity and borders, though.

      For the foreseeable, yes. But globalisation will inevitably eradicate the point of borders.

        I definitely see a time in the future where we have a one world government likely as we start to expand out into space. Until then, we will continue to have our own borders and cultural identities that make it impossible to ever have something like that. I hope I am dead and gone by the time we are talking one giant government.

          The way the planet is going it may be a necessity at some point. Basically when it gets down to crunch time humans "may" finally realize that it was always family. Of course a few billion will die first before it sinks in. As is customary.

            Imagine the corruption that would be involved in something like this. How would voting work? Biggest country by population size = automatic winner?

            Wasn't it written somewhere about one ruler for all the people being the end of times?

              It will be essential for space exploration. As it is now though I don't think anyone from any major country could accept foreigners bossing then around.

              Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                I'd imagine countries would still elect their own president (or whatever) and all those heads of state would make up a congress and elect a leader amongst themselves

                  Like every state has a governor.

                    Right except the governors would select the president. Which would probably actually be a better system than we are currently using.

                      I would think the citizens vote for president of the world who would preside over the governors of each country.

                            No doubt that's true today. Imagine 300 years ago without the electoral college?

                            Communications in time will make it possible for every human being on earth earth to vote.

                            Soon enough most people will speak a version of the same language.

                            I think it's a fucked up idea but...

                              That's what happens here, in a small version. Each of the 650 seats in parliament is independently elected, and then those 650 elect their leader, and whichever party has the majority of seats forms the government. Or, gets first crack at a coalition.

                                  Until islam evolves from a medieval mentality it would be incompatible with any sort of global leadership.

                                    What I'm saying is that I trust there would be enough self interest from the rest of the world to say "yeah no we're not going to elect a global theocrat"

                                      I'm thinking that there will be a lot of very serious changes to the planet and humanity before a one world government is feasible.

                                      (imagine trying to tell the citizens in the thirteen hundreds how things would be today.)

                                      But I don't think that would be impossible. Adolf Hitler won the election in Germany.

                                      The world could easily become a dystopia. Remember boys history did not begin 100 years ago.

                                        I suspect by the time the world is capable of putting the differences aside to appoint a world leader, religion will have dwindled to almost non-existence and atheism will be an unspoken requirement for office, as christianity is now in the US.

                                          I hope athiest is never a requirement for anything as I see athiesm as sort of a religion unto itself. Most self identified athiests seem to be insulting, loud mouthed,nihilistic jackholes that go out of their way to push their beliefs on others and ridicule people of faith. (Hint: I'm not what you would call a person of faith) Rather I'd just as soon see religion as not a prominent issue.

                                          Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...
