I suggest scrapping the UN and creating a hegemony to regulate all international affairs... in this hegemony the countries would still be individuals...much like states are now...the hegemony would have interfederal laws applicable to every nation. all nations would be represented in a senate having a senator from each nation. the hegemon would be elected by every person in the world eligible to vote done online for a week long period. anyone of voting age can be nominated for the position...but they must be nominated by a nation. campaigns have a set limit of spending say...100 million us dollars given by nominating nation. an international police and military force would be created to settle disputes between nations. international healthcare would also be created so poorer nations will have better health care.

Nah, i say scrap the U.N. so we can get back to the middle ages in warfare, we can then limit (destroy) the world population and then resources won't get depleted so quickly.

Hey! I resent that!

Your Idea of a Hegemony wont work. It would collaps. I do how ever agree with Desposing of alot of country's and making bigger working political system. The only way the world well ever have peace is if the world works together, and the best way for that to start is as you said turn many country's into one. Now i dont think you really know what a hegemony is but that dosn't matter. Their is a reason that we have so many country's today and its cause non of them like'd the other

Why??? Overpopulation is a problem and the only way to limit it is to:

1) Start a world war which the only aim is to kill people and destroy the amount of nations there are to a decidedly smaller amount.

2) Spread AIDS to a large proportion of people and keep the non infected in a safe secure spot.

3) Start a world-wide famine.

Take your pick.

If all of Europe can't make the EU work in full, I doubt the whole world can make a new world order stick.

Fairly improbable. Utopian societies tend to go pearshaped.

So we build up the world into a number of extremely large, powerful nation-states or quasi empires. That is a really bad idea.

*looks puzzled* are Locke and Wiggin the same person..?

^.^ If so, you aren't the only person to have read Enders Game. Or, at least, the summary on wiki. You seem to have got the characters the wrong way round though.

Depends on the Utopia, if we managed to build up the world into some really large empires, we could have Nineteen Eighty-Four as a reality, and then we would have a dystopiatic Utopia.
