Shame on you!
This is size-fits-all taken to its extreme form.

Let me tell you, outside of liberal la-la land, what would happen if we implemented a world government tomorow:
A coalition of indian and chinese would come into power, who would "find" that the weestern world has too much money and they themselves too little. They would start a massive redistribution campaign to destroy wealth in the developed world and prop themselves up.
Is this what you want? Seriously, there once was a time when decentralization was a liberal ideal. Where has that gone to?

First of all no specific plan such as that has been laid out.  Even if a unicameral population based legislature was given complete control, I seriously doubt China and India would form a coalition to get money.  They'd each claim the right to more money and all hell would break lose.  They hate each other anyway.  Anyways I would see a bicameral legislature with something like the General Assmebly involved diminsishing big countries' power.
