Should the major nations just form a single government and then take over all the smaller nations...in order to form a single world government?

Regardless of whether you think a single gov't might be good or bad, wouldn't it be awesome nonetheless?

PS - and I mean a real one world government, not a useless tea party get-together like the UN...

Well, I wouldn't advocate it, but looking from a purely acedemical perspective, having one person in charge is just too much power. I think what a better solution would be to separate the entire earth into regions (I'll use what is already in place for sake of understanding).

The regions would go as follows:

North American Union- USA, Canada, northern quarter of Mexico, greenland, iceland, the bristish isles, and the carribean.

South American Union- All of the latin America countries (including Falkland islands.)

European Union- all countries currently in the EU, and include all of Eastern Europe and the western half of Russia.

Asia minor-Spanning from Turkey to Kazakstan Saudi Arabia to India and all the countries in between

Asia-Eastern Russia, to china to Thaiwan but only the mainland asia.

Oceana- Includes Japan, Australia, and the pacific Islands

North African Union- All countries just north of the equaitor spanning from Cameroon to Somalia

South African Union- All of the other African Countries and Madagascar


Together, these regions could form a global confederacy of sorts where each area governs equally and work similar to the system of States in the US. Each region would take turns being the governing region and existing countries would become similar to counties or provences. Obviously, the larger countries would have to be done differently, esp the USA, Russia, China, and Australia. But this is just a basic idea so just go with me.

Granted, this also does not take into account preexisting tribal and ethnic differences such as the Hindus in India being grouped with most of the Muslim countries and Israel. That would probably have to be changed somewhat to avoid internal conflict. And the African Unions would have to deal with Tribal lines that were not taken into account when Europe divided Africa originally. However, these tribal and racial differences will have to be overcome for a model world government to function.

LOL! 5 Posts and already we have a seccession movement!

I think that says it all.

And Svante, to be super clear, I completely agree, there is no reason for Canada to give up it's independance!

Well I never said this government would be a dictatorship of a single person... the government types could vary.


Technically Asia Minor is just western central Asia in today's terminology...whereas India is in South Asia. Or do you mean the Near East, Asia Minor, and South Asia form the new Asia minor?

That's strange you included Japan as Oceania...I don't think they have anything in common with Pacific Islanders or Australia...?
Currently geographic East Asia is China, Japan, Taiwan, Mongolia, and the Koreas. (whereas cultural East Asia includes Singapore and Vietnam).
And I'd say South East Asia can be categorized with South Asia and India.


@Calvin-X
Canada = America's hat
Mexico = America's shoe

It's just a hypothetical model. None of these countries would be willing to give up their independence. There's no reason to get hostile about it.

Yeah, Asia Minor by itself would be to small and same with South Asia and the Near/Middle East.

Maybe so. I was just making a hypothetical model out of the blue. I was trying to link the catagories geographically. I ceeded that I didn't consider ethnic and cultural differences when comming up with the model. If some countries need to be shifted around, than they need to be shifted around. I was also trying to keep any one union from being drastically larger than the other. Which is why I split up the American Union into North and South American unions. It doesn't really matter. It just a quick thing I came up with at 2am.

@ Svante

Here's how the Canadians became part of the NAU in my hypothetical model:

After years of being the country who's only function was to be the United State's nuclear barrier to Russia; and contributing very little to the cultural world (Ice Hockey and Maple Syrup), Canada became tired of being the international joke and begged America to annex it. America politely refused because... well let's face it, there's nothing there but a few cities, wildlife reserves, and leftover frenchmen. An utter wasteland.

After Canada's failed attempt at joining the US, they got mad and went into the forrest to build up their army to attack the US. Unfortunatly, before they could, the entire population of Canada were all eaten by grizzley bears and became a nice heaping pile of shit (that's irony folks).

America, being the benevolent nation that it is, decided to form the NAU to help rebuild Canada's economy and infrastructure. Naturally, had anyone been around to approve the motion, Canada would have declined, however, since they were absent at the vote, they could not dissent and were therefore included in the NAU.


That's how my hypothetical model came into being. Cheers
