Ah, but there are govenors of states and, honestly, I couldn't tell you the names of any of the current ones excepting my own and California's - and you just can't not know that one. Just because they're not mentioned doesn't mean that it's not imposible that the US, or any other country, has a president of their own little plot, even if they don't do much.....
Fair point, however I didn't get that sense at all in Demons, Terra Prime and in later Treks they certainly never alluded to the possibility. Of course I'm only talking about earth, not the Federation.
Sorry Alelou I didn't see your post, I'm not saying that culturally that earth isn't separated, but that doesn't mean there are local governments the way we know them now. I always thought Malcolm went to a private school anyway, probably some place like Eton. Eton is nowhere near like British public schools. I watch a lot of BBC.
