Seriously, I have nothing against a world government if it works. But I think for it to truely work it would have to have a central figure to run things and a world court that is above all others. So basically the whole world would have to be one country for a world government to truly work.
They very recently established a permanant World Court. The US has refused to accept its authority, refused to take part in it, and refused to let any US citizens be allowed to be tried by it. No other major power (except, maybe, China... not sure...) has done any of those things.
