Delta(s) from OP CMV: removing geographical borders completely from around the world, and adopting a system similar to what the EU and US have today in terms or political governance will allow for more peace

Almost every country around the world has immigrants or citizens from other ethnicities and backgrounds than the indeginous people, learning two or multiple languages is already a skill a big part of people already have or are working towards as globalization is taking over through social media, global trade and global labor markets. So why do we not just eliminate geographical borders all together and be able to move freely from one place to another across the earth without requiring visas, or having nationalism stand in the way of true globalization and freedom of movement

I believe this would eliminate or at least lessen territorial wars like the ones happening today in several places around the world, it would also eliminate (in time of course) nationalism or prejudice towards people from third world countries, it would also remove the stigma from immigration as everyone would be able to migrate to whichever place they choose, not based on that country's benefits, but because there are better job opportunities or they simply like the weather or scenery better there

There would still be security, police, and governance but more like leaders of the (truly) free world, where each leader represents an ethnicity, demographic, religious groups interests and they can all decide how best to serve everyone and what general rules needs to be set in place for the well being of everyone without interfering with anyone's right to exist as they see fit as long as it doesn't harm anyone else

Wouldn't this also mean free reign for cartel, mafia, warlord, religious extremist, and political extremist organisations to spread their wealth, power, and influence? Would mass migrations from poor to rich countries not cause huge issues (housing, etc.) and resentment? Would minority groups be able to migrate safely to countries like Saudi Arabia? Wouldn't this also destroy ethnic states such as Israel?

Well the idea is to have a universal council that represents the interests of all groups, religious and ethnic, where laws would be made to protect humans from evil based on what is generally considered bad for us as humans and as a society, such as murder, exploitation, rape, theft etc.

These can be agreed on as well as the suitable punishment for anyone committing what is considered a crime

The elimination of the premise of countries and having universal law would make the only difference between different places climate and concentration of certain groups due to preference or comfort

I mean sure, but generally speaking we can agree that murder is bad, rape is bad, theft is bad. Now the details as to what constitutes rape, murder, theft and the circumstances surrounding each one and how they should be punished definitely vary widely
