liquidnazgul,
answer to your question is that humanity evolved in a tribal fashion. the creation of nationalism took a lot of work- education, gov't services, and all that- for people to start feeling that their countrymen were part of their "tribe".
and it is very easy to destroy that feeling. look at how governments in places such as spain, belgium, pakistan, china, etc etc all have very significant minorities whom feel that they're not bound to the central government or nation.
a world government would be infinitely harder to hold up.
