World decides to form a strong world government. Constitution?

[Dr. MB]

Obviously I don't want a world government, I think it would be a terrible idea. But, it is a very fun concept to think about, so if one was put into place,.....


1. I'd divide the world into regions, here's a concept I came up with:


U.S./Canada, Central America/Caribbean, South America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe/Central Asia (essentially the former communist bloc), East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Oceania, Middle East, North Africa, West Africa, and Central/Southern/East Africa. This would serve as the main layout for the federation.

2. The former countries would still possess most of their rights, including the right to decide their own form of government (so long as it isn't totalitarian) and select their own chief executives, legislatures, etc.

3. There would be a collective presidency, one member would be elected from each of the above regions and serve a nonrenewable six-and-a-half-year term, the chairmanship would rotate every six months but serve as only honorary.

4. There wouldn't be any official language, business can be conducted in any language.

5. The countries would largely be able to choose their own economic systems and welfare systems, etc. but a guarantee of broad minimum living standards would be there.

6. The constitution could be amended only by a 10/13 vote of members of the presidency as well as a 2/3 vote of the legislature.

7. There would be a senate/council – ten members per region, and a general assembly – based off of population but with a guarantee that each country has at least one MP.

9. A supreme court made up of 13 members, one from each region; each judge would serve a 10-year term and would be appointed by that region's member of the presidency and confirmed by the legislators from that region.

10. Parties/factions are allowed in the legislature but not written into the constitution.
