RyansWorld: Global Parliament
From Future
The global parliament will govern the world through a combination of the Westminster system found in former British colonies and America's unique form of democracy. That will mean that a president is elected through whichever party has the most seats in parliament, rather than directly through votes as in the American system. The party leader of whatever party got the most votes automatically becomes president of the Earth. However, all bills and laws need at least a two-thirds majority in order to pass.
The United States of Earth will divide the entire world (Earth) into 8000 electoral districts, with each electoral district having approximately one million people. Countries will become provinces, provinces will become municipalities, and municipalities will become sub-municipalities. Small towns and metropolitian cities will often have to share the same electoral district and even the metropolitian cities themselves will be divided into several electoral districts.
By the beginning of the 23rd century, the global parliament will become fully established. The world will be in a perpertual state of peace, due to the Singularity (which imposes enhanced intelligence and logic to all humans). The worldwide government will also adopt measures like the abolition of emotions, the abolition of feelings, and the complete destruction of all thermonuclear weapons. During this time, global parliaments will also occur on the colonies on Mars and Venus. Great events unfold and then in the year 2257, the global parliaments of Earth, Venus, and Mars combine to form a galactic parliament.
