    You will also find people migrating to areas of the world that are richer causing strains on the societies there.
    No, you're projecting current issues into that environment. There would be none of the issues you bring up...

    Then everyone would have to contribute and pay equally otherwise there will be problems.

    Now you're catching on.

    That is precisely what this would be. One government. One set of laws, for everyone...

    No and it would not work. Somewhere along the line a certain group will assume more power and another group will take exception to this. You only need to look at the history of the Balkans to see what happens when different people are placed under one umbrella with one of the groups assuming dominance of the political structures.

    And it is a fairytale to believe everybody will just love everybody. To be honest, the only time this would ever be possible is if the various races, creeds, religions and political ideologies found a common enemy, and once that enemy is defeated, well, things will return to normal.

    this wouldn't be about love thy neigbour. It would be about global control and distribution of resources as well as global control of people.

    People think that to have world peace, then you must unite and have one government.

    But I disagree, to have peace just live peaceably with your neighbor and respect their culture and way of doing things.

    In practice, the human element will be its downfall, as is any other form of governance. So we need to weigh up the pros and cons here. There are a significant amount of pros. The cons are not unique to one world governance though. So in my eyes, even the practical implementation of a one world government would be better than what we currently have. It would require redefining how we vote, in a more immersive manner. It would require religion to play no part in governance. And it would require national animosity to be reduced. All in all, it is just a pipe-dream because our current system, although similar, creates the tensions that prevent this in the first place...

    And how do you achieve that point of global control if nobody sees eye-to-eye? And further more, how do you maintain that globalness if people around the global do not love thy neighbour?
