Country. Should there be contries or should the world just be one?

What is a country? It is a geographically defined territory, with people in it, that has one government that governs the people residing in that territory. The people are usually of the same or of an intermixed tribes with a history of intermarriage, cultural exchange, trade exchange, religious tolerance, similarity in ideology of life, similarity in cuisine, intermixed language, knowledge of each others background and history and the like. It can be said that it is the land, the people and the history married together that makes a country a country.

Although it is convincing in ideology it is something that can raise a lot of question philosophically on its legitimate existence. it is notoriously unstable meaning to say part of a land and people that was part of one country yesterday may break out on its own or join other country in the future. This kind of thing happens all the time and has happened constantly throughout history. It is also one of the major causes of war in the history of human kind. Held as sacred by the majority of human population, it is one of the most sensitive and chaos triggering  thing in the world.   

But should there be countries or should the world just be one? Even though it may seem impossible today, the probability that there will be one world rather than a world divided up into many different countries in the future is extremely high. In fact one may argue that that is the inescapable future of the world. If brought up to discussion, philosophically it is a very controversial issue weather we should have a geographical separation or not. In the world where we live today, many part of the population of the world is racially intermixed. Also philosophically it is very hard and almost impossible to get a solid unbreakable ideological backbone for the idea of a country as we know it today. There are some reasons for one to say that there should be countries and also other reasons for one to say that there shouldn't.

             Reasons why there should be countries and why there shouldn't be

Reasons for why there should be countries	Reasons for why there should only be one world
It creates difference and difference is good. With difference arises competition and colorfulness	There would be a lot less conflicts as a whole that arises when a country wants to keep its interest that is in contrast to others. This actually is a very big deal considering that we are living in a nuclear age and this should be given major points
Reservation of culture and traditions. One can progress and inbetter ones own culture which may lead to a very different direction from the other which is good because diversity is always good and there is power in diversity.	There would be equal opportunity for all human kind
If there is only one world the system may be imperfect and may not be suitable due to human errors and greed. So if that happens there would not be another alternative and hope whereas there would be if there are other different countries with different systems.	A system can be created so that every culture would be preserved and there still could be one world and also with the intermix of cultures another culture that is different would evolve.
Selected people get to keep their way of life with their own governance with the people of their kind.	Ideas would be enriched a lot more as ideas from around the world can come together as one.
There would be significantly less chaos created if discrimination and unfairness arises towards certain groups, race and religious entities.	Outlooks of many would broaden tremendously as they would be able to move around and see a world outside of their own enclosed one.
There would be a sense of ownership of the country by the citizens and initiation to keep and  develop the country.	The probability of a nuclear war would be significantly less and hence the probability of the annihilation of civilization or even human race.
It would be a lot harder for terrorists to move anywhere they want.	The intelligence and the quality of the human race would improve as it is scientifically proven that interbreeding produces genetically superior breed.
