What is World government?
A '''world government''', '''global government''' or '''world state''' is a concept of replacing [[nation state]]s with a single country spanning the whole [[Earth]] (or some other planet). The trope can be found in [[science fiction]], the [[New World Order]] [[conspiracy theory]], [[Marxist]] thought, etc. No global government is currently in known to be in the planning stages, the closest things to a world government were [[empire]]s and are political unions like the [[European Union]] and [[African Union]], as well as intergovernmental cooperation [[organization]]s like the [[United Nations]].
