What is your perfect world?
It can range from the smallest of changes, to the largest. Think about social, political and economic perfection.

everyone would speak the same language so they can understand each other. Everyone believed in God. According to your Bible, they once did. There was a people who contrived a city called Babel, and spoke one common language. Then God came down and 'confounded their speech', scattering them across the face of the Earth, causing mass confusion. Side: This is my perfect world

All the people of the Earth are united under one Imperium. Materials can be atomically engineered; mud into mercury, steel into silver, glass into gold. The concept of Money has been rendered redundant. The civilization is on the brink of FTL travel. Human beings can have their personalities stored digitally, to eventually populate the newly founded interstellar colonies. The religious have regained their critical faculties and renounced their sadistic Gods. Cold Fusion and other advanced energy generation technologies have been mastered. Jelly and ice cream for everyone! Side: The Culture

Other than the ones about ice cream and religion (I'm sure there's no need to reiterate my stand), I really like the idea of abolishing the concept of money. Even if we ignore the fact that money causes more problems than it solves, it is still a deeply metaphysical concept that is illusory to believe. We an say that paper (or plastic) and metal representations of money exist, but we can't say that money exists. To assume the latter is to be under a serious delusion. This is, to my mind, one of the best examples of why David Hume's Bundle Theory is true. Side: The Culture

My perfect world? There's no war. All countries live in peace among each other. Every religion is respected, no conflict between any. Homosexuals, bisexuals, straights. They have all the same rights, without looking down upon another. The economy is perfect. No one goes hungry, or lives on the street. No animals are ever abused. The entire world just lives in complete harmony. Side: The Culture

A perfect world consists of people no longer telling others that they know what's best for them, in any way, shape or form. We're all just people. Do divinity, no enlightenment, no brilliance. Just a few assholes who think they've somehow figured it out, and if you deviate, you must be punished. Side: Free Markets and Minds
