world government
Planetary ruling body
World government is a hypothetical political authority with jurisdiction over the entire planet, superseding national sovereignty.
The concept appears in utopian visions, dystopian fiction, and international relations theory.
Advocates see it as a path to ending war; critics warn of tyranny without escape.
Conspiracy theorists often invoke world government as a shadowy goal of elites.
