Who has power?

spoiler

Who gets to decide for the rest of the world, how is it organized, where (geographically) is the decision making held, how can it (this world government) be relevant to the experience to every human being on earth when there's so many contexts and dynamics that need to be addressed precisely rather than from a distant view?

Define "world government".

We already live under global capitalism, global statism, etc. I generally consider the planet to be one big "state". This is horrible because it's literally destroying the planet and assaulting all life.
