I think part of the progression will be to get rid of the concept of countries as we know them today. Fixed geo-economic and geo-social boundaries are counter-productive to progress at this point in history but it will be very difficult to dismantle the structures we have in place. Thankfully we can already see the green shoots of this the EU and to a lesser extent North America but I suspect turmoil lay ahead as Nation Union superpowers' needs and wants create geo-political frictions and possibly war.
