    I was wondering the other day. Which would be better for the human race IF we evolve to space travel and interact with other ' alien races. ' Which would be better for us. One whole Earth with one country or an Oligarchy of countries?

    A single World Nation. But then I'd say why wait for space travel.

    I will admit alot has to change before it would work though, the current state of affairs would not support such a system.

    I don't see a single World Nation working any time soon.

    Oligarchy is basiclly when more than one person rules an area or country. This case its Earth. Think about it like the U.N sorta.

    As in ever. We will always have disputes, a single world nation is impossible imo.

    Well I did want to sound like I had no hope of it ever happening, but your right, I never see it happening because we always fight and we will always fight amongst ourselves.

    The only way I could see a one nation world to be honest is World Domination. I doubt this would ever happen because say China started taking over all of Asia. Once they got to Russia the world would start declaring war on them. The only way it WOULD work is if they were in an alliance with say Japan or Germany or some other large country and after they took over about 80% of the world they would just betray them.

    To much Drama as of now, if you ever read the comic Watchmen you will see what the cost of unifying earth is.

    A unified Earth is not necessary all that is needed is a sense of Co-operation, Look at what we have now, The UN Its a unified system where all matter of man and Woman are equal, once we have a UN building on the moon or in Space that's when we can say we are the federation of Earth numerous countries Banded together for the good of Earth and the Human Race!!

    Oligarchy is rule by the a privileged group (usually wealthy), Unless your suggesting that a bunch of banks should rule the world you used the wrong word.

    I don't think that all of humanity will ever unite. But if earth ceased to contain all of humanity, and several other worlds became occupied by humans, a single earth nation isn't impossible. I like to think of such a future using analogies with the past. When the Europeans, like earth, began colonizing, they were still disunited, but after much time expanding and fighting great wars, they will eventually begin to unite.

    If it's possible, it's not going to happen for a long time. But honestly I don't think a single unified body is good. If there is just one huge nation, with no competition, social and political stagnation will set in, competition is what drives change and progress, so unless we discover another race to compete with, a loosly aligned body of nations is a better idea.
