This is a challenge. Try to have the entire world governed by one entity by the year 2000. The UN/EU/NATO don't count as one government. If there are any people in space (as a result of some technological advance), they don't need to be part of the world government. This can be any kind of government, democratic, fascist, communist, theocracy, anything. Also, if there is a place specifically for AHC's, tell me. If not, someone should make one.

Speaking as someone who liked that TL and is thoroughly enjoying its reboot: Georgia was already ludicrously überwanked.
World government rises out of the ashes of the Third World War of 1962-66. After the almost complete destruction of the USA, the USSR and most of Europe, the remaining regions realize that the only way to survive is to work together. This time not out of idealism like after WWI or to prevent another war to happen like after WWII, but this time because everyone Is standing with their back to the wall and going for it alone will get you killed.

Most plausible IMO is to take Britain
Queen Victoria Sign the Federation Bill in the mid 1860's, prior to the Delhi Durbar, declaring the Imperial Federation of the British Empire.
Whilst soverign of each Dominion and the Empire as a whole, there would be a local parliament for each Dominion (3 in India, one in East Africa, etc, etc - based on strategic concerns initially, reform to accomodate cultural boundaries can take place later in a TL). With the majority of domestic issues dealt with locally, with the exception of foreign affairs, jurisprudence, and military matters handled by the upper/imperial parliament that has reps from across the Empire.
Now, I suggest this as it could maintain the Empire in the long term - which was probably the best polity for attempting to unite the world at the time.
If the system succeeds, its success could be emulated by the Austrians, and butterfly that cause for WWI, and maybe the war itself.
This helps maintain Britain as the worlds premier power, and can continue to either encourage countries to join their Federation, or annex territories during other smaller conflicts.
Eventually that leaves Russia, China, the USA, Brazil and Europe outside the Empire, but the Chinese can be taken advantage of if they enter a violent civil war as per OTL, make a dominion or three - in the name of peace and stability of course.
Brazil is probably easier to take advantage of than the others - but short of invasion, with the majority of the worlds people and resources - the Empire could either invade, or offer membership to the USA, and each major European polity as a Dominion (Whether they accept it...)
But in a century and a third - I could see a particularly expansionist Imperial Federation uniting the globe. Or as near as.

This one line makes the whole premise a tiny bit silly.
A loyalist America enthusiastically supporting the British Empire is a more likely route but I can't see how either Europe and America can conquer and control Eurasia or indeed the reverse.
The closest it ever got was probably the mongol invasions of Europe but they did not have the governance structures or the technology to sustain the World State when they were dominant.
By the time someone does have the structures and technology the resistance from the remnants outside the core will be too strong.
It's basically "America conquers the world", which is silly no matter how you look at it.
Creating and sustaining a world government requires fast and reliable communications and travels. This is why I doubt you can achieve it pre-2000, unless you have a POD that considerably boost technological development. Even then, nationalism is a thing that never really die.
Military conquest is impossible, voluntary union is ASB, the best you can hope is a transnational collaborative body like the U.N but with some real power, not a neutered and ridiculously broken like OTL U.N.
Start by getting ride of the veto system and replace it by a simple majority vote. Extends the security council to at least 10-12 members, conditions to entry: a combination between GDP and population, and a vote by three-quarters of the general assembly. Give it power over the IMF and the WTO, so economic sanctions are really a threat even to rich countries.
I doubt it's enough, but it's a good start.
It's not a world government stricto sensus, but it would be almost the same in term of power and influence.

Yeah, only in the event of 3rd World War and the potential for post-nuclear war government do I see it actually happening before 2000.
Now after 2000...
Robotic Singularity, coupled with TransHumanist cybernetics may prove to be the catalyst for such governance in a near our future (hopefully)

Napoleon is the first: after winning in Russia in 1812, he creates a European federation (Grand Empire) including his puppets and forced allies.
This federation wins against GB and England, Ireland, Scottland and the colonies are integrated in the federation.
The US, now bordering the federation in the north (Québec), south (Spanish Florida) and west (Spanish Mexico/Texas) and trading only with members of the federation (France, Great Britain, Spain...) decide to enter the federation.
Due to economic competition (since there are no wars between de states of the confederation, there is no more military rivalry), the members of the federation fight for new markets in Asia. Japan is forced to open its markets, westernizes and becomes member of the federation.
Now surrounded by a world-wide federation, even China decides that becoming member of the federation is the only way to survive in the new world. China is allowed to join the federation in 1889.
Eternal peace and world government unter Napoleon V by 1900.

Joan the Mad marries a French King instead of the Habsburgs. Epic battles across Germany as Franciberia fights and takes over the rest of Europe by 1850, while retaining its growing colonial possessions in South America, South Asia, and Africa.
The Anglo-Saxon War of 1870 sees a European debarkment in Dover and troops massing in Québec to crush the remaining brits, and China is the last power to be annexed due to its size in 1890.
This is the ultimate Francewank.

1) Napoleon does better (as mentioned)
2) British Empire builds/leads (probably the latter) a thalassocracy, ruling the oceans and controlling almost all international trade. Smaller nations (e.g. Latin American nations) and less powerful ones (like the various Indian states and China) are economically forced to join because of the trade advantages. Eventually even France and Russia (the last holdouts) read the writing on the wall.
3) A more competent German dictator WINS WWII, harnesses nationalist feelings in the Ukraine, Baltics and Central Asia to depose the Soviets, take France, ally with Spain and Italy, take Britain. Tough to do, but possible with a WWI PoD
4) China industrializes, engages in maritime expansion, the wealth that maritime trade brings in increases the power of the merchants/middle class. Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam and Korea are all IN FACT, not just in the minds of the Chinese Emperor, subject nations. By the time Europeans arrive in the Far East with any power, the Chinese have solidified their position, and are moving into e.g. Thailand and Burma and Indonesia. Australia is colonized by the Chinese instead of the British. By 1800, there's rail from Beijing to Vladivostok, and south to Saigon, and heading to Rangoon. Chinese colonization turns the west coast of North America Chinese. By 2000, every nation has to pay at least nominal tribute to the Chinese Empire.
5) the Ottomans do a lot better. ITTL every time they tried to siege Vienna, say, they spent most of the campaigning season bringing troops and logistics north. Here, they build big local bases, so they can move forward from them, not from Istanbul. They take Vienna and Poland. They keep control of the Muslim world from Tunisia to the Iranian border.
They take Persia. and later expand into the 'stans.
Industrialization, whether it's invented there or in Britain/Belgium, takes off and factories and railways spring up. The railways knit the growing empire together, and when oil is discovered and becomes useful, the Ottomans control all the Middle East supply.
Sultanates in South East Asia (in OTL's Malaya and Indonesia) ask for Ottoman help against European colonizers.
By 1900, the Ottomans have subject nations from the Philippines through to half of Africa.
Not sure how they take Western Europe and the Americas...
6) a nasty European power (e.g. Tsarist or Soviet Russia, or non-Nazi Germany) takes over most of Europe. The rest of the world has to unite in an American dominated alliance to crush them, and say 'never again'. This alliance ends up being de jure or de facto a World Government. (think of CalBear's AngloAmerican Nazi war, or a Drakaverse scenario where the Draka lose.)
7) Jonathan Edelstein's Malê Rising, except the World Court (I forget the name, ?Consistory?) ends up with even more power, and can be viewed as a world government, if you squint at it in the right way.

Wwhich PoD are you thinking off? A Versailles treaty don't taking the navy away from Germany?
Hm China could industrialize in the 1850s (Victoria 2-style), invade Russia and India with its hordes of soldiers (until 1870), take the Middle East, Europa and then America (until 1950).
Actually, I was thinking that it could be after Versailles. Get a COMPETENT right wing dictator, and Germany could do MUCH better.
I was actually thinking Southern Song or something, much earlier. 1850s is too late for them to colonize the West Coast of North America.
I think to unify the world, you would have to kill off a large percent of the population. Maybe some sort of plague like disease with a really long incubation period. You would also have to do it really early on...sometime in late 1800s.
The remnants of the US, europe, japan, and their colonial possessions rebuild society as a shell of its former self. Seeing that its better to pool together their resources, they unify in some sort of loose confederal government...with a few areas of the world under their control while the rest of the world is stateless chaos.

Drunk yeltsin manages to somehow activate the "dead hand" system without opening the silos causing russia to literally blow up the earth beneath it,in a redicolus fashion the explosions cause the chinese,indians and pakistanis to panic and do the same,half the chinese nukes fall apart and the damage to the indian subcontinent is very localised.

From my pov the only way to achieve this is to have a state that fulfills certain qualities that make it unique and strong enough for world conquest for a prolonged period of time. In my view it needs:
1. An inherent warrior culture, either built through religion, society, environment etc. This facilitates the ability of the state to conquer and not have opposition to its conquest as well able bodied men who wish to join the war.
2. A form of raiding that is sponsored by the state perpetually. In other words a concept of constant and continual conquest for resources or any reason. This allows the state to conquer over great periods of time and without having to conquer in huge sweeps, which increases revolt chance.
3. Lack of satisfaction. This can be with regards to resource allocation, greed, or any other ideology that makes a state feel that it needs more and does not think of calming down or planning another invasion.
4. A political system that had the ability to remain stabile indefinitely. Perhaps reinforced by the people or by religion.
5. The possession of resources that give advantages and being in a safe location to access knowledge of other parts of the world without being in danger of conquest constantly.
6. The ability to constantly integrate different peoples regardless of ethnicity or race, through means of religious dominance and therefore assimilation or tolerance and acceptance, either one is effective at least in certain cases, and should be used at different times.
8. A central location in regards to world politics. So Iceland, Australia, Indonesia, Argentina etc would not work.
So, from what I have put forth I will try to put forward a short example of a possible POD: WARNING Caliphate Wank!!! lol
With a POD in 570 AD, Muhammad ibn Abdullah is born and lived his childhood as he did OTL. He goes on to create the religion of Islam which unlike otl I diverge and have Muhamnad win the battle of Uhud decisively, so much so that Khalid Ibn Walid and Abu Sufyan convert on the spot ending the Quryaish-Muslim conflict 5 years earlier giving more time for the Caliphate to prepaid to invade Persia and Byzantium. As well, more importantly in this time all roots of heresy are removed, and this means no Ridda wars and Abu Bakr can spend his entire time conquering. This the Islamic conquest of Persia and Byzantium goes as otl, except due to being a few years earlier the Caliphate takes up to Tunis and maintains Anatolia.
Then Anatolia is immediately integrated and dissidents are killed or expelled, then replaced with Yemeni immigrants. Have any Greeks who stay convert and accept loyalty to Abu Bakr. The Syriacs do not maintain there culture for long, by 800s the majority are Muslim. Berbers are not taken as slaves wholesale. Axum crumbles and east Africa up to Shewa falls to the Caliphate. Raids on Byzantium, commence and peace is NOT & NEVER signed. The concept of perpetual warfare is used on all opponents.
Now the most important move is finding ways to keep the Ummah together, this should be achieved by having Muawiyah not rebel and accept the rulership of Ali ibn Talib, delaying the Shurha movement. In the meantime Ali enacts a reform on the Dhimmi status of Zoroastrians, giving them status as Christians have, and stop taking them as slaves, in response, the Shurja rebel and fail to assassinate Ali and are massacred before given a chance to materialize as a group and mingle with the Berbers or Africans. Then Ali dies and is succeeded by Husayn ibn Ali, who is given massive support. Husayn this is not killed by Yazid ibn Muawiyah and thus Shia Islam is butterflied; with both of the two break offs smothered in the cradle, the Caliphate has a slim chance (lol) at attaining ,through constant war and stable cleric elected Caliphs, world conquest.
This would also need victories at Tours (Rashidun never end) and Islamisation of the Basque gaining a vigorous maritime culture.
EDIT: Having the Middle East puts it in position to own the worlds oil day one, and a Middle Ages conquest of Europe ensures coal resources. It's location also ensures it receives almost any innovation from the East or West.
This is highly unlikely, but it's a shot lol. I could give more scenario after this one is responded to.
