It always bothered me that in a lot of popular science fiction, there is one government, one civilization, one culture, and one language per planet if said planet is not Earth.
That is totally unrealistic and unbelievable.
Instead of making one totally fleshed out civilization, I would make enough to make that world seem diverse, that were as fleshed out as their number of appearances and the nature of their roles in the story calls for.
Additionally, if people on Earth can't unite and live in total peace and harmony under one government, why would people on other worlds be any closer to doing so? This is of course assuming people everywhere have the same sort of basic nature.

Well, at least it's assuaging to see that other planets (in mouths of science fiction) do have this kind of social bond or something. Very far from what our planet's "social bond" implies.

My belief is that people are incapable of uniting and making peace on a global scale.
In fact, regardless of what planet it takes place on or what time setting, every single science fiction or future scenario I have ever thought of depicting anything even close to world peace of has involved more partnership than actual unity.
The closest thing I can imagine to an actual world government would be like the United Nations had a more political role rather than a diplomatic one and that the various nations still had a certain degree of independence.
Why? Because nobody could come to an agreement on how to merge the nations together and what policies to have in the one world government.
