Is a Sovereign Secular Democratic Republic of Earth Possible?

Question

With a world ravaged by wars and untold miseries, and ethnic, linguistic, racial, religious and geographic divides, is it possible that a Sovereign Secular, Democratic Republic of Earth can come into existence replacing all nations and representing the will of the people of the world collectively? If so then how?

Hi cvq3842, how is it not feasible and is also undesirable? Afterall US was just 13 states in the beginning and now it's 50, I am from India, and we have a federal polity and Australia,Canada and other countries have the same?

Hi Skip G, Secularism doesn't mean that you denounce religion, it means all religions are there in the country , Secularism is interpreted in different ways in different national constitutions. Some places they don't like religion others say religion is a private institution , all people can practice their faith freely.

Hi peaceandfearlesslove's differences exist that's what democracy is for, universal adjustments and respect for differences-secularism

Hi Carpe Diem, Nations are built on social foundations and if you see the past, Italy was different principalities,US was 13 states, India to where I belong had several principalities and today all these 3 countries are thriving democracies with several different religions languages and cultures- so it was based on Social Foundation rather than nations saying lets Unite- but then East and West Germany united. Nation comprises of people and in a democracy the sovereignty of the nation lies with it's people based on their collective will -can't it be taken in a world perspective?

Answer 1

If you think about it the reach of government has always grown as people have become more aware of and more communicative with, and hence been impacted by, other groups. A new level of government has always come about when we start to be influenced heavily by those outside of our own government unit.
In early times of man, the government unit was simply a family or small group. As man developed language and literacy and came together to work together for more prosperity, a new level of government was required and people formed villages or tibes with local chiefs. As these villages began to trade with nearby villages and form larger towns, the city state appeared and a government level was created to rule over all that the city state controlled. Next came the nation state. There is absolutely no reason to believe that the nation state will be the final stage of this evolution of government. As organisations and business start to influence outside the boundaries of the nation state (ie globalism occurs) we find it necessary to create a new level of government to control this influence. This process has been underway for some time. The League of Nations and then the UN are experiments in this. Global treaties such as GATT and anti-proliferation suggest an attempt to have universal world rules.
Perhaps the move to a global government is one we are simply not ready for yet. The EU is an example of a regional government that applies rules to the way the sovereign states within relate to each other.
So yes - I would argue that a global government is not only possible - it is inevitable. People's current attraction to the Nation State will diminish as the influences from outside our nation state become stronger.
