Mankind is developed enough where we should no longer need territory

I apologize for not being more specific on the front of my "state" definition. What I meant to imply was that should these magical boundaries be abolished the world could exist as one whole state, but rather than the limited definition supplied by Webster, it would then be: The entirety of the human race politically organized under one planetary organization. This also is my rebuttal to your anarchy argument. The destruction of the borders is not meant to simply make a map clean, but to unite the governments of the world under one common force, which while it may seem to be an impossible ideal, is hardly one. The only thing is that it would be tremendously difficult, and time consuming. However, it is far from impossible. Russia is the largest country in the world that still has a working government. Then Canada, which has a stupendously established one, followed by the States and China. All are relatively big countries in comparison to other countries, and still run better than their smaller neighbors. Look at the civil wars in the African countries, North and South Korea, among dozens of others. Yet the larger countries are all able to maintain a state where there is not civil war within the countries (currently) and are the greater of the worlds powers. Now just imagine this but on a much larger scale: a global one. Hardly impossible, and people are still paying taxes, law is still being managed (just as well as any other place on Earth). Protection would no longer be needed save for the loonies who would cause trouble. Education would still last, seeing as how most of it already is fairly uniform. Social Services is a concept becoming more and more ready in the "1st World" countries, spanning across the continents. Infrastructure can still be maintained, as it is already doing so across the world. All that needs to be removed is the imaginary lines that we are so sure separate us from every other homo sapien on this rock. Secondly, on the matter of territories being a safe haven for peoples beliefs shared by the entire nation, that is a complete fantasy. No nation, in the history of this planet has ever been a place unified under one common belief, unless done so forcefully, which never turns out well. Even America is hardly an understanding place when it comes to beliefs and ideals. However, most countries, save for the less developed, have accepted the concept of "freedom of speech and religion". The Church of England is no longer killing non believers. The Spanish Inquisition has passed, and Jews are no longer criminals in Germany. Slavery is a widely abolished practice save for the underground community, which will be severely crippled when countries are no longer in need of WMD's and other weapons of war. The only resistance would be the ignorant and self deceived. So yes, while maybe 100% of the world may not accept it immediately, time would fix it, as it has with many, many, many of all the other revolutionary idea's of this race (flight, electricity, separation of church and state, etc). I have proved it can work. It's already an idea in place, just not fully recognized.
