Related: About this forumNow I'm really confused. Who's who in the World Government movement?
Got a flier at my front door from the local Jehovah's Witnesses group.
Why do we need one?
Is it possible?
Who is qualified to rule?

Most of these are what you would label as "fringe" groups due to being so small, but for some of them, their proposals are at least reasonable.
ON EDIT: Also, I will say that, while I'm too poor to lend much support to the idea of a World Government, I'm not personally opposed to the idea. I think of myself as a human first, and on the list of adjectives I would use, American may barely crack the top 10 list. I'm more likely to label the city I'm from over my nationality. Not to mention I find patriotism and nationalism to be alien concepts that are, frankly, scary.
