Originally posted by KaboooombaIt 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.
