Michael, if everyone could squeeze into the USA, you might be right. But they can't. A lot of countries represent every nation on Earth too [assuming you mean by migrants from everywhere being there]. One of the ways of getting to a NUN is for the USA to take over the world with its constitutional state arrangements being applied to each new state as they were as the number of states in the USA grew. But the USA is far too much a statist, socialist, busy-body Big-Government place for my liking. I wouldn't want such a socialist entity running the NUN. People like freedom and the USA does not offer that, contrary to popular myth. Check the proportion of GDP spent by the people in Washington DC to see what I mean, then add the obligations on state spending required by the federal government, not to mention reams of regulations, and general suffocatocracy. Another way of getting to a NUN is for the Euro world to keep adding states, as they have been doing. But as the voters are showing, they don't like the Big-Government ways of Eurosclerosis either. I think better still is for the existing UN to be redesigned to do the job, in a Libertarian way. What's needed is a constitution which everyone [80% of the world's population anyway] would sign up to. Mqurice
