What's the point of becoming one nation if everyone has different languages?

  There are a number of benefits, one that comes immediately to mind is having a common army and saving costs. Another one is that having a common currency, but not a common fiscal policy is not a good idea. I don't think language differences are a problem. There are a couple of nations with multiple official languages.

  Leverage against common threads or to accomplish common goals. Besides, there are many nations/countries with several official languages already. Having several languages does not invalidate all the advantages.

  Ask Switzerland, or, on a larger scale, China.
