The world has many problems. The Second World War was from 1940-1945; the Third World War was from 2018-2020; the Fourth World War was from 2036-2041; and the Fifth World War (2064-2074) ended last year.
Obviously, it is time to change the system of world politics. The biggest problem is the large number of countries in the world. Because of nationalism, the government of each country only wants to do good things for its own country. As a result, the people of the world fight and kill each other.
All the countries in the world now want a new world government. We will choose a special United Nations Commission to suggest ways of remaking the world!
You are members of the special U.N. Commission.
