"...governance singleton that means all nukes are in safe hands"
Why would a single government need nukes at all? Who would they use them against other than their own citizens?
Reasons the idea doesn't catch on may be that there is no clear articulated advantage to doing so. Or to do so would disempower a lot of currently powerful people. Many people don't want or like democracies (think Taliban or Theocracy).
The tyranny of the majority [1] has destroyed many democracies and something the US Constitution is in place to supposedly prevent. One might think that it has gone a little too far since a mere 8 people are powerful enough to jam up the entire US Government. We should likely get our own house in order before selling this thing to the world.
