I think you missed my point about the USA already having achieved one world status.

I'll repeat it since you missed it.

Any particular country is effectively a one-world state, so it's not as though it's a big deal to achieve it. Each country is already a NUN. NZ for example used to be hundreds of tribes. Now it's one with the tribes still semi-sovereign within the whole.

The USA is made up of lots of states with a total of 300 million people.

It's not long ago that that would have been the whole world.

So, as you can see, a one-world state can work reasonably well.

Simple really.

But a supranational state doesn't have to be such a Big Brother busy-body effort as the USA. States could have any amount of independence.

Usually, people have a lot of trouble imagining things that have never been, even when similar examples are around. The normal reaction is "It won't work because .... " then they grab a few rough ideas on why it's a bad thing.

My experience is that things can work very well if the fundamental ideas are sound and there are mechanisms for them to work.

Australia is a bunch of states too.

The Euro is an example of supranational organisation and it's working as well as other currencies. That's an example of what I mean. I'm plotting something even better and so far it's looking good. CDMA is already in place. It'll be the biggest empire in human history.
