Right, for starters, each country has a different culture and many sub-cultures. A world government would be madness in this day and age. If, and this is a big if, cultures all Westernise (Since I'd presume it would based from the Western world) then perhaps, but every country has different social norms. Imagine the American and British government merging, what kind of affect would this have on the UK?
Again apologise if I've repeated what anyone's said or neglected some information, the above's just my two pennies.

I dont know about that...
I just dont see why everyone is so bloody convinced the NWO is for the elitist rulers!! There's no HARD evidence FOR a NWO of ANY FORM let alone one of a 'feudal system'! Stop being so paranoid, the rich arent out to get you!

The UK has far more in common geographically, economically and politically with Europe.

A single governement in Europe is inevitable if the EU constitution is passed. That's what all of the hubbub over here at the moment is all about. Europe wants total central control of defence, taxes, pensions, work time directives, immigration and policing. The EU already controls most aspects of these anyway but now it's striving to take away nearly all control from our elected governments. Westminster's powers have slowly been eroded over the past 30 years to get to this point.
As Europe expands (10 new members this month, who knows how many in 20 year's time?) the EU central government will reshape and reform into a different being. The expansion will continue. Asiatic states are already being absorbed and the EU's boundaries extending. Eventually, it will spread further Eastwards and incorporate Russia and probably some of the friendlier Middle Eastern states. At this stage it will cease to be the EU as it will become a global NWO - it's already crossed continental boundaries with Turkey becoming a member.
Whether the US will become a member is open to question. But once you have 30 or 40 countries in the system, it's going to become harder and harder to resist joining. Economically, the new system will have a stranglehold over the world economy. It's output and resources will be huge. If it manages to stretch as far as the Middle East, it will also control the oil.
The NWO is a European concept and it is already growing.

I highly doubt Europe will ever accept any muslim nation from the Middle East, especially in next 20 years . I highly doubt even the Turkey will be accepted.

Turkey is a great example of why Muslim nations will be accepted. Would anyone have thought that Turkey would be part of NATO 20 years ago? Would anyone have thought 20 years ago that the USSR countries would have been in the EU now?
Sure, the Middle East states aren't democratic but that doesn't mean that they won't be absorbed. The EU itself isn't exactly democratic either is it? Most of the people sitting there in power are unelected!!!! Don't forget that as the EU spreads Eastwards it comes across states which contain different religions. For example: Turkey is both Christian and Muslim as are a lot of the Balkan states (Slovenia has already joined).
Don't look for these states to be perfectly aligned with European ideals before they are accepted. The whole point would be to absorb them and gradually impose the ideals.

Turkey was not accepted by NATO because of its democracy or something like that - actually it caused much trouble with the Greece. It was accepted because of USSR trying to expand their power to the south. Turkey had such geographical position that it was impossible to leave it alone.
