All ocean, sea and navigable river coastline in the world (and everything up to a mile inland) would be a global freely traversable megastate overlapping with and taking precedence over existing borders. You would only ever encounter a border checkpoint when going farther inland.

One world government with low overhead. I would do three things:
1. Give everyone the economic freedom to choose their place in society, a place of residence, and their career.
2. Form local governments to support those choices.
3. Focus automation on jobs that no one wants.

Not sure but maybe politicians as priest class. They devote their entire lives to public service/governing. They are given a very modest livable income for life regardless of whether they win or lose elections. They are unable to accept bribes or donations of any kind.

Radical popular sovereignty. Anyone can secede with land proportional to population. Small states experiment and large imitate successes.
