        Practically, the borders seize to exist in this century, it is very easy travel from one part of the world to other. The challenge is jobs, epidemia and racisms.

        Other, there would be chaos and violence. Too many different oppinions and beliefs for it to work straight off the bat. After all the chaos and given time, I think things would get better and allow people to learn from eachother and discover our differences can be resolved.
