One World Government?

[AthianGuildmaster]

I always though it would be a counciliar with each member from each continent representing supranational unions

There are a lot of countries following the steps of the EU due to it's success

That's the same thing I was thinking. I think that would be best. But perhaps there would be a manager or single representative of the Council, a person who is indirectly elected by the people. Maybe there would be some sort of assembly with officials delegated by local governments to elect a leader of some kind.

My problem with a one world government, well, my main problem, is that it seems you would lose the cultural diversity that we enjoy -- for lack of a better word -- today. I can't imagine a single government being able to rule all of the varied peoples on this planet. The thought is actually frightening to me. Let's say we do have a one world government, what are the chances that indigenous rainforest people will be represented in said government? They will become subject to laws that simply should not apply to them. They would be ruled by people who simply don't understand their culture. This would be true on varying scales throughout the world.

I would imagine that special zones would be set aside for these indigenous populations. But on the larger note, cultures will inevitably intermix even without a one world government. The diversity I think would live on in the form of subcultures, but all contributing periodically to a new worldwide culture.
