Talk:World government in science fiction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Choice of examples
The mere choices of examples here exhibits a strong pro-American bias. Can someone balance it from a global perspective? Mission9801 03:07, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
I do agree with the strong-Pro-American bias (an I am one), I prefer a balanced view for ideas this far reaching. But I wanted to add two more American sci-fi sources to this list. In Star Trek, Earth has united under a unified world government. Based on the hints and clues given in the series over time this government has the following attributes: Democracy, unified military, rule of law, separation of church and state, regional government, all the while maintaining local customs, languages, and culture. In addition in the book Contact (later made into a movie - although the movie ignores this aspect) the discovery of the signal starts the world down the path to global government.
