Goemon Ishikawa, 23 "Not Japan, that's for sure, because Japanese politicians are good for nothing. I think Europe might be the best due to the size of the EU and their unity."
Era, 31 "I think the UN is the best candidate because it is an organization consisting of many countries. All nations, big and small, can participate and discuss issues with some variety of opinion, and it is easy to decide by majority."
Toshiaki, 38 "America wants to rule the world, but I think it is not good. Maybe because of its peaceful image, the Vatican should take the lead. On the other hand, I don't want to be dominated by any nation with a strong religion."
Ayumi, 16 "I'm interested in politics, and I think there is no alternative to the US No other country, including Japan, can take the lead, However, Bush is not fit to be president of the US In the future, the US should think about other countries, hopefully without Bush at the helm."
Takeshi Fujiwara, 21 "It's not a question of which country. Rather, people who are responsible for what they say would make the best leaders. I cannot trust politicians who act in clear contradiction to their words."
Shinya Miura, 20 "An ideal leader is someone who can think about the world without considering his or her nation itself. However, no world leader comes to mind right now because I think all leaders do whatever is in their own best interests and that's why we have all the problems we do now."
Shinya Kato, 22 "I think it would be interesting to see a tropical country take the lead in world affairs. That's the image I have, even though I have never been to a tropical country."
Anri, 19 "I am not interested in politics so much, so I don't really have an opinion. In my dream world, Never Never Land is attractive because I can do anything I want."

The Americans are backward, especially when it comes to the right of the individual. Their international drug policy is outdated and causes billions of dollars to be wasted on a lost and meaningless cause (preventing people from chilling out with natural substances). I hope they have little success with their genetic engineering of plants!

An organization that can understand the complexities and realities of a given society, but has the "knuckle" to make them accept a concept that they might not be willing to understand.

Because it has all these ninjas and stuff who could totally wail on any country stepping out of line, with its riceboy-powered rapid defense force. That's the image I have, even though I've never been to Japan.

Holland is a good candidate but I say the Scandinavian countries would be even a better candidate. We already give out the Nobel Price and we do shit loads of humanitarian work and we are the ones always in war areas trying to calm down people. Scandinavia is what Canada could become like one day in say..
