Is it possible to franchise the nations of the world under a World Franchise Umbrella? Yes, that is possible but of course there would not be equal opportunities in each country starting out. Some places for instance cannot crow corn or they are in dry climates and farming is tough or impossible. This might lead to instability or fighting within the system right and that could cause a loss of freedom or even wars.

Indeed this is a good point about Freedom and Franchising and I understand this. In my scenario the System would be franchised only. The System would include; The basic flows of the civilization, or the system. The system would be built tough with redundancies to insure everything works. Things such as;

Water

Waste-Sewer

Power-energy

Education

Transportation

Distribution

Common Currency

Communication

Defense of Nation

Set of Basic Laws

It would also come with trade opportunities within the system and a basic set of standardized rules and regulations, which would be Minimal; Free Market Thinking. One thing I noticed when franchising my company before retirement (Carwashguys.com) in 23-states, four countries, 110 markets; servicing 450 cities is that regional variations always existed and that is why we sent in Surveyors; Bonsai Marketing teams for data collection; prior to the Blitz marketing to sell to the end customers (Citizens).

It would be possible to take into consideration the differences in weather, topography, culture and other natural conditions when building the system and thus have to include some specialized planning improvisation too. Consider all this in 2006.
