I really hope that a “world government” never happens, it is too much of a risk.
Consider the US for example: once the land of the free, it has become a land of espionage, lack of personal privacy and persecution. This hasn’t begun with Trump, but it became a lot more evident with him as a president.
What I want to say is that the risk of a global government going rogue is too high.
I hope that we will always have a plurality of nations and ideas, living peacefully with one another.
In my opinion this is the only solution that will lead to success of the human race. For me that is not destroying our planet, evolving in the "right" direction (more education, more science and especially more ethics).
At the moment we kind of burn our resources without need and our nations compete which creates more unnecessary costs and suffering than good outcomes.
We live in a world where you wonder every day why things are solved in that particular stupid way instead of doing things the smartest possible way to really serve humanity as a whole.
The fact that it's more important than anything else to "grow" money out of nothing speaks for itself.
What is the situation like, right now? Several countries with atom bombs "go rogue". They do what they want and behave like little children who's toys have been stolen (USA, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Great Britain...).
They screw their own people and take away the wealth and stability they enjoyed for some time now, they increase surveillance and take away the (human) rights the people have fought for many decades and they engage in wars and battles that serve no one on this planet but companies who produce weapons and political agendas of maniacs who shouldn't do this job in the first place.
Of course the danger that this one govt could do something bad is also present but at least we'd have a single point of failure that we could get rid of in case of emergency. Now your only chance is to migrate to some other country in the hope that you'll be given a chance to start a new life there and that no one does something that will force you to leave, again.
Wars, Nationalism, tax escaping, finance, poverty .... nearly everything could be solved in a better way when there'd be no seperate govt's who all believed they were the godsend rulers of earth.
I hope some force some day is just strong enough to force everyone into such a system as I don't think nations will be willing to give up their sovereignty that easily. Let it be some aliens - as long as they are intelligent and act rationally it's far better for us than the current unbearable state we have to endure.
Without that there will never be peace on earth. Plurality and ideas come from people and not from states. You can see that today e.g. in countries who are more open minded and welcome people with different believes.
