No matter how much it reflects the reality of the world's haves and have nots, it just seems a little rich to be proposing an elite group of countries charged with governing the world ... and including "Democracies" in its name. It couldn't be any less democratic.

The League of Democracies would simply divide the world into "us" and "them". I actually think this is what you want, but I think it is a terrible idea.

If not actively included, I would imagine a lot of the remaining countries would sorta shrug their shoulders and do things their own way. Actually, that's pretty much what they do now.

When the "League of Democracies" invited themselves in to "fix" the problems in these countries - sometimes (not always) - I think that the countries in question might resent it. Kinda like many countries resent the US meddling (good intentions or not) in their business.
