Having read all about such an idea in the Left Behind series, I believe a secular global government would be extremely flawed and impossible to maintain. Furthermore, it would completely undermine and distort the meaning of being on earth as individuals brought together in God. In this hypothetical scenario, the government would assume the role of the higher power. They would be totalitarian in their approach, and would greatly hinder life as a result. In fact, it is quite possible that such an absolute system as this could result in complete and utter chaos.
As is evident all throughout history, the leader of one country can completely and utterly provoke his own people to killing and atrocious acts of violence.(Hitler). And while this may be true, other countries have rallied behind the opposition to such actions and won. There would be no such system(country/countries) to stop the leader/leaders of this government. There would be no such God to answer to, nor anything besides the leaders of this government. World War 3 could never happen, there would be no one to resist from a crazed ruler’s destruction.
The infusion of such a system would destroy cultures. The Guaraní (along with many other indigenous tribes) would be forced into a culture that they would clearly have no interest in being a part of. The beauty of individuality and patriotism would be extremely diminished. Too many conflicts of interest between cultures would occur. Just imagine a southern boy who likes to hunt and work on Ford Trucks having the same set of values as a Chinese woman interested in Origami.
Good luck to any citizens who wish to voice their opinions. It would be impossible to be involved with politics, or even be in a position to create change with so many needs and wished to accommodate. Being able to keep track and monitor all of these civilians would be utterly inconceivable.
Basically, such a system is offensive to even think about.
