i think it does talk about this in the Bible as a future event of the end times. like xanthos noted it would also solve a lot of the problems we face, yet it could make it worse.

If we ever have the fabled new diaspora of science fiction where they have monocultural colonies on planets in nearby interstellar space, THOSE governments will by definition be a single world government but here on earth? Maybe by the year 10,000. MAYBE.

it isn't as silly as it sounds, and in a way it is kind of here now. we'ld still have the individual governments, but one overall one to stop things like Christians getting put to death in demorcatic countries etc. i guess i was just looking at what options there were for this. this is one.

It is impossible to predict but it is very unlikely that there will ever be a single world government as we understand government today. However the European union could be seen as a government, so could the united nations. The real question is, how much power must a global body have in order to be called a government? Clearly the US though still seperate states is one country with one government. A good definition would be that no two states within a union could declare war against each other.
