| | Similar to how [[homosexuality]] and its legalization was viewed by the vast majority of people 50 years prior to its actual legalization, acceptance, and encouragement by society, many people do not believe a one-world government is a realistic or serious idea that could happen in the coming centuries. However, compared to the international situation in the past, such as 1300, 1700, or even 1900 AD, the world in the early 21st century is much more culturally, economically, and politically unified than ever, and becoming increasingly so. The vast majority of the world's nations belong to the [[United Nations]] (which has an expansive bureaucracy), the [[Paris climate agreement]], and the [[World Trade Organization]], among other organizations. Leaving these organizations is considered taboo. | | Similar to how [[homosexuality]] and its legalization was viewed by the vast majority of people 50 years prior to its actual legalization, acceptance, and encouragement by society, many people do not believe a one-world government is a realistic or serious idea that could happen in the coming centuries.
