Why is being able to go wherever you desire so important to you? And how exactly do you plan to reconcile fundamentally different belief systems (such as, say, modern liberalism and fundamentalist Islam)? By imposing some global beauracratic tyranny, I presume?

People with fundamentally different belief systems are not hostile to each other. I have seen people with very radical beliefs who are very accepting of people with opposite views. Almost always it is the politicians and people in charge of nation-states who divide so that they can rule easily (us vs. them mentality). We can achieve harmony and unity through means other than tyranny (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolence) .
