Why would the U.S. government do everything in its power to prevent a "U.N. of Democracies" with a stable tax base and vote by representation?

Well, for one thing, why do you make the U.S. out to be the lone country in opposition to this idea? Isn't the American Hegemony, or "Pax Americana" the big thing everyone, even our allies, are worried about these days? How is this different? Instead of the American hegemony it's the UN hegemony. I seriously doubt you would get a single nation, even democratic ones to agree to this idea. It's that bad of an idea Tbontob. So since it's your idea, why don't you tell me why Canada would be opposed to it? And if all the Democratic nations on earth became one "super country", wouldn't the non-democratic countries be that much more afraid of it?
