German here, I want the same. We are one species inhabiting a single habitable world in a giant dead void. Nationalism is an idiotic game of no value that causes destruction of resources we need, senseless killing in wars over nothing, and ultimately merely a distraction from everything that’s really important.

The paradox of tolerance applies though. It helps to keep the intolerants at bay.

I would live to see the transparency around the funding and goals of this project.

Lacking transparency is a red flag.

Looks too much like japan’s flag.

Let’s try an earth and a sunrise behind it - half a circle sitting on the bottom of the rectangle, and a yellow circle making a sunrise on top of that, like a yolk sitting on a blue egg.

I've lived in several different countries. There are nice people everywhere. The country governments are shitty everywhere.

Funny i live in a country where the people are the government, and with your knowledge of different country's, the future World-Government would not just be shitty but untouchable mighty. I want really small, face to face responsible governments.

No borders doesn't mean no rules.

I like this. And furthermore, it is my opinion that all current nation states should be dismantled.

And replaced with what?

Money.

Why would a world government be any better?

Nothing against a Coordinating body like the UN, and really small states (lets call them community's).

But there is no "we are the world, we are the children", future is probably more like US/EU/EAU (east asia union), now you have 3 big blocks fighting against each other (much higher world-ending chance). More power = more bully....

>everything that’s really important.

Yes your right, and talking...even with a enemy should be considered the base for future world-freedom.

It should be a different color, because this will be attached to either politics (which you don't want) or EU (which you also don't want), some completely independent color could actually trigger curiosity to look it up.
