    The United Earth government in Star Trek looks almost as unrealistic as Faster Than Light travel.

    A united earth government isn’t contrary to any physics law I’m aware of, but that would take a strong political will, not just from leaders but from the general population, as well as a very long time.

    The European Union has been a work in progress for 70 years to integrate different countries into one political system. Lots have been done, but it’s still far from a small-scale United Earth. Every country hold onto its sovereignty, and a consensus from all 27 member states is required for many things, so it’s moving rather slowly.
