Line 14:
If the species in question is humanity, there may be more diversity involved, if only because the writers don't need to ''invent'' it all. The aliens may also look the same. See [[Ditto Aliens]]. See also [[Planetville]].
 
Note: If you happen to be in a Christian "End Times" story, and a single government controls the planet, watch out for [[The Antichrist|the dude]] with [[Beard of Evil|the goatee]]. Alternately, watch out for [[Man Behind the Man|the guy standing BEHIND the dude with the goatee]]. If the "villains" are seeking a [[One World Order]] to remove the political divisions that enable international war, they may be [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|Well Intentioned Extremists]]. If the villains go even further than that, it could be an [[Assimilation Plot]].

Line 140:
* In The [[Strugatsky Brothers]] novels, [[One World Order]] appears to be the natural consequence of achieving a certain degree of technological/social advancement. Earth and all the [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] Earthlings encounter have a [[One World Order]], but the various [[Crapsack World|Crapsack Worlds]] inhabited by humanoids have warring nations messing things up even further.
* [[Ursula K Le Guin]]'s ''The Left Hand Of Darkness'', in which Gethen has several different countries. The protagonist eventually visits the country of Orgota, to find that its government and customs are vastly different from Karhide, and even mentions that he's not as familiar with the native language.
* Similarly, in LeGuin's ''[[The Dispossessed]]'', Urras is divided into several countries, including ([[Nominal Importance|at minimum]]) the liberal democratic capitalist A-Io and the [[PeoplesPeople's Republic of Tyranny|"socialist" totalitarian state]] Thu, which are fighting a proxy war in unstable [[Banana Republic|Benbilli]]. If this sounds like the [[Cold War]]...well...[[Fantasy Counterpart Culture|it should]]. Urras, it should be noted, is a double planet, with its (relatively) barren partner Anarres having been settled by "Odonian" anarcho-syndicalists who, as such, have no state. Although LeGuin is herself a noted anarcho-syndicalist, Anarres averts [[Mary Suetopia]] by having a legion of problems, including the development of [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|entrenched bureaucracy]] among the "syndics."
