I wouldn't even want to live under a North American superstate, imagine how horrificly unbalanced the politics would be. Canada & Mexico are extremely liberal, borderline Socialist, nations. How is that fair to the Conservatives in America? No Republican would go for it. So the whole idea to me seems a little far-fetched right now.
As for the European Union, it is ending up a disaster. In theory it's a good idea, but due theres already been a problem with immigrants & centralization. And the fact that the people didn't vote to be in the EU, I find disturbing & not heading into the right direction.
As for a world culture & world langauge we basically already have that developing.

The EU, by and large, has been terrific for every member state. The ONE THING that I dislike is that they're trying to get the Lisbon Treaty passed without consulting the people. On the other hand, a lot of people are so xenophobic that they'd vote it down out of hand, so I can see why the governments are seeing if they can get away with it.
