The Prime Directive vs One world government

The Prime Directive forbids Starfleet or the Federation to interfere with the cultural development of another world.  On Earth this should be extended to forbiding the cultural or political development of another nation, unless that nation asks for help.  It would be foolhardy for a "one world government" to be put in place.

There is a lesson that can be learned by the Galactic Empire of the Star Wars Saga.  The Galactic Emperor, Palpatine had absolute power.  The UN is a federation rather than a one world government.  The nations on this planet should cooperate rather than band together in a one world government.
