gollark: No.
gollark: How do you coordinate that?! They can't do that in countries with comparatively bad tech and much less land area/cultural variation/whatever.
gollark: With one world government this would not be possible unless it had strong devolution.
gollark: Additionally: normally, governments do somewhat different things, and we can use that to determine which things are better (very noisily).
gollark: If the one world government turns apioform there is nothing much you can do about it.
