About the World Government
The World Government is affiliated with roughly 180 countries from around the world.Those member countries retain autonomy, that is to say, the countries run their own internal affairs (though the World Government does sometimes meddle), but cooperate with the World Government for massive international relations. Their political ideals are unknown and everything they do is considered to be right. Not everyone approves of their political ideals as there are people like Dragon who are against it. They approve of Absolute Justice and reside in the holy land of Mariejois, ruled by the Gorousei, the highest authority of the world. They seem afraid of losing power and the World Government depends on the 3 Great Powers to keep the world from falling apart.
At first glance, the World Government seems to maintain a worldly order that benefits all, making the world safe for the sake of everyone. Using the Marines, they pursue criminals endangering the lives of those who are innocent, protecting the people of each country in the world. The World Government is the largest World Power maintaining full rights to halt or encourage any political action without question or opposition from any side.
The reality though is that, unknown to most citizens (and many world leaders), the World Government's actions are secretly, and often, based on corruption or questionable motives. Often when the storyline involves them, it shows them hiding the truth or ignoring the rights of the people with many individuals using Justice to further their own aims. Individuals who become the enemies of the World Government are ruthlessly hunted down and dealt with and all those who walk along the same path as them are doomed to share the World Government's fury.
The World Government's power to release information on anyone as they please can often led to the truth being hidden, altered or ignored all together. Any countries attempting to protect or harbor criminals are at risk from the World Government, although what would happen exactly has not been addressed yet. For the most part, the important role they have in maintaining world stability far outweighs the corruption they often display though this is changing as more people are beginning to question whether what the World Government is doing is right.
Much of Government appears to be centered around paranoia, as they appear to divide power very carefully. However, this paranoia, though strong, can be bypassed, as seen when Spandam manipulated the Goursei. Also, judging by what King Wapol said that changing the governing form of Drum Island would provoke the government, it would seem that there are very particular expectations that must be lived up to form governors or kings..
History Of The World Government
Void Century
800 years ago, an ancient alliance was formed by the kings of Twenty Kingdoms, who used their combined power to overthrow the Ancient Kingdom.[2] After that, they banned research on the Phonegyph and set their headquarters in Mariejois
Age Of The Pirates
In 1500 AOS, Pirate King Gol D. Roger turns himself in to the World Government though they claim to have captured him and execute him before the public. His death however sparked the Great Pirate Age.
Buster Call
In 1502 AOS, the World Government sent the Buster Call to wipe out the Ohara Kingdom. They accused the scholars of trying to recover the Ancient Weapon and spread lies around the world when in reality; they never cared about it. Nico Robin was the only survivor of the kingdom and was hated by the brainwashed world, who believed that she would kill them all. Nico Robin grew up hating the World Government and is determined to find out what happened during the missing 100 years.
Lucci's Mission
15 years ago, there was a small unnamed kingdom that was captured by pirates. 500 royal guards were held hostage in an attempt to force the king to make the pirate captain the new king. The World Government sent a 13-year old boy to the kingdom. The boy in turn killed the 500 royal guards for showing weakness before killing the pirate captain and taking his head.
Spandam's Conspiracy
12 years ago, Spandam manipulated the Gorousei to change their mind about preventing the Ancient Weapons from being recovered and to allow him to revive the weapon. However Spandam's plot is really to overthrow the Government and rule the world himself.
Monkey D. Dragon
6 years ago, Monkey D. Dragon started to stir up rebellion against the Government. The Council of the Kings took place in this time to discuss about his actions.
Government Members
All over the world there are over 170 countries that are members of the World Government. Within their own territory all these members have their own sovereign government that rules over its people. However in the large World Government itself those leaders are treated as equals and each have a seat within it.
Among these member countries, not all are of the same kind. Some are really large countries with kings as their leaders, while others are simply big cities that are governed by mayors.
Kingdoms
•Arabasta
•Llusia
•Drum
Cities
•Water 7
The Three Great Powers
Not much is known about the Three Great Powers (San Dai Seiryoku) except for the fact that they seem to be a very vital part of the World Government. There seems to be some sort of balance between the Three Powers. These three institutions exist in a delicate balance. Not much is known about how this "balance" functions. It is however known that only the other two organizations are equivalent to the Yonkou. Considering that these organizations are stated to be a balance and the fact that the loss of Crocodile threatened said balance, the most reasonable conclusion is that marines and Shichibukai together rival the Yonkou.
The Gorousei fear that if this balance gets disrupted, the world itself could fall apart, and the balance itself appears to be very fragile as the lose of even one key member (such as a Shichibukai) can throw off the balance. This is why the defeat of Crocodile was so distressing to them (the loss of such a powerful ally tip the balance away from the Shichibukai and in turn the Marines). It has not yet been fully explained so far as to why one of the Three Powers being weakened could pose such a dangerous threat. One possible reason is that this stems from the fact that only the Marines are fully under the control of the World Government. The Shichibukai appear to follow orders on a whim if at all and the Yonkou are entirely outside of the World Government's control.
Recently Doflamingo stated that the Shichibukai are going to war with the Whitebeard Pirates, this being the first known instance where any of the powers go into full-out conflict with one another. Also due to Kaidoh trying to stop Whitebeard from fighting Shanks inferred causing a dispute between Yonkou.
The Three Powers are the Marines, the Shichibukai, and the Yonkou
