In the same way that the onus is on monotheists to prove all other gods false and justify theirs as the one true god, the onus is on statists to explain not only why other nation states fail to conform to their own ideal but they must also explain the absence of world government.
If government is natural and necessary why is there no global government? If it is so preferable why does the world seem to overwhelmingly not prefer greater conglomeration of coercive power? why do nation states fight fiercely to defend their individual sovereign existence in an anarchic global order. why is this principle of individual sovereignty violently prohibited at any level other than the nation state?
