*Politics on Future Earth*



Q:  What is the world and America like in your time?

B:  Your planet?

Q:  Yes.

B:  In our contemporary time zone? (approximately 300 years in our
"future")

Q:  Yes.

B:  The idea is that there isn't so much the concept, specifically, of what
you call America.

Q:  Oh.


B:  It is recognized as a region, and in many cases is still referred to as
a region, but it doesn't really exist politically.


Q:  Are there politics at that time?

B:  Not in the sense that you have it now, no; your planet, in my
contemporary timeframe, is a member of what you call The Association of
Worlds, and functions as a /single/ planetary system.  Even though it is
allowed -- through the recognition of the balance of diversity - it is
allowed, in that sense, it /has/ allowed its own culture to remain defined
for the richness of the diversity the different cultures produce.  But it
is not political.

Q:  Thank you.
