Do you really think that in a thousand years the Earth will be divided up into separate countries/languages?

I'd be very skeptical about prognosis for 1000 years ahead in climatology or biological diversity let alone politology.
I'd be interested why you think that since the number of countries is growing constantly (check the history and number of countries in 1000, 1900, 1950, 1970, 1990, 2007; some projections predict over 280 countries for 2050). Based on that i'd say the number of countries would be increasing unless of an extreme use of terror and conquering leaded by superpowers. Independence mean liberty and freedom and i don't think Hitler's ideas could prevail some day. If you mean that by growing economic unions (EU, ASEAN, NAFTA, CARICOM, etc.), those are not reducing liberties / freedom but rather increasing the power of smaller countries, their rights and democracy.
