AHC/WI: Much more powerful UN

Making the UN more powerful will not be in the best interest of the people of Earth. The UN is one of the most corrupt political bodies on the planet. I'm sure you'll enjoy having them decide your taxes, what you can eat and drink, when you'll go to school, what job you'll have etc all with no say whatsoever from you as obviously you don't know how to run your own life.

If you love living in dictatorships you'd love the UN...otherwise well......


If you make it more powerful it has to have its own military, its own ships, tanks, planets etc, its own bases etc. Without that it can never enforce its will. Who would allow such bases on their soil is well no one, it would be a threat to their national sovereignty.
 
The US and the USSR weren't going to allow any real world government that would infringe on their powers. Just ain't gonna happen without massive, massive PoDs.

Someone posted a 'Unitary world government not based in Eurasia' in the pre-1900 forum, and my answer was a much worse WWII with the US being the only surviving major power, with the Commonwealth as junior partners. Such a US could set up a totally US dominated 'UN' with real power (thinking that they could continue to dictate to it), with all national armies being units of the UN force. This would meet the OP requirements, and 40 years down the line, the US might discover that their 'tame' UN wasn't quite so tame after all....

But it would take the effective destruction of all of continental Europe to pull that off, IMO. At a minimum, both the Nazis and the Communists have to be wiped out.
