I found this interesting:
Personality Quiz: Can TIME Guess Your Politics? The test is supposed to predict your political affiliation (liberal/conservative) by asking a bunch of non-political questions. My results were just as expected: Spoiler for my results:

^Looks just like mine except for the borders question I landed conservative. I think that the differences between cultures can be pretty interesting, even though we should be part of a global community; I ended up picking slightly disagree.

Ja, it was a hard one for me too. Part of me wants an international socialist state, but what impact would that have on culture as we know it? And what if it entered full evil empire mode?

Right, kind of like in the Federalist papers, Madison (I believe) argued that a greater number of factions is better for the whole. The plurality also prevents one singular group to take control without affecting minority rights, which would be more likely to happen in a world without borders since people still would want a government and it's difficult to function without one. I don't think that the borders should be a hard separating line between cultures, but I do think that the existence of several different governments is more beneficial than a worldwide entity.

Took the test again just now, with notably different results.
I guess it differs because I know more about stuff than I did the last time, I interpreted some questions differently, and expressed some opinions more strongly.
