Can you realistically envision a nationless world with no borders?

Question

I can. Trade agreements are constantly being struck up between nations and continents that make borders more and more meaningless. Without tariffs and some form of economic protectionism the concept of a nation has less meaning. Many would prefer to see this happen. Borders only hinder corporate progress/ profits. They are seen as a roadblock. Again, I don't think that this change will occur militarily. The WTO has already has and will continue to draw up a plan of the world. Most folks don't realize that that is the real deal. This process may take decades but I believe that it will happen. It might not happen fully within my lifetime. But it will happen. The concept of a nation-state that develpoed a few centuries ago will go down the drain and another form of world organization will take it's place. I am not saying this is necessarily a bad thing. Although one could definitely dispute that. But change is inevitable.

It would last until the first guy decided to take a piece of land and erect borders and not let people cross, probably around some important, finite resource. In other words, all of about 5 minutes. The end of greed, borders, etc. will come if and when resources like food and shelter and space become unlimited. In other words, probably never.

On one hand, our nation is the very embodiment of the concept. Every state has its own laws but work together and form federal laws also. But America is designed that way, other countries will not give up their powers. But then again, look at the EU.
