EU is a great experiment on supra-nationality, where citizens of countries agree to form a supranational body which will govern them on certain specified issues rather than their own political masters.
Should EU succeeds, it may set an example for other countries, like the Asian countries, South American and African Countries to follow suit by forming their own supranational bodies.
Eventually, all these supranational bodies then can coalesce and form a global supranational body with a Global Parliament and Global Commission, where the Global Commissioners will be required to take an oath of supranational loyalty in which they swear to act completely independent of their nation state and neither seek nor take instructions from any government, in order to act in a way that best promotes nothing but the Global interest.
Well this may sound quixotic but 70 years ago any suggestion of the present EU would have sounded quixotic too!
Well that would be a wonderful idea to move towards global citizenship without borders. With the world becoming more and more connected with the proliferation of new technologies under the 4th industrial revolution taking place now, it may not be a tall order after all.
I think something like an international Schengen Zone would be highly appreciated. Imagine traveling, studying and working all over the world without all this bureaucracy.
Great comment @invest.country
Thx for sharing your thoughts with us on that particular (and quite sensitive) topic.

Thank you for your amazing reply @invest.country!
Interesting conception, but do you think that as a humanity we will be able to achieve that much of unity? EU works, but it still faces a lot of serious problems. The results of current elections show that there are a lot people wanting decrease the level of cooperation between European countries. And we need to notice that EU consists of countries from the same cultural field, with the same traditions and history. I can't imagine my government cooperating with Arabic government (unfortunately).
