And so who determines just what are the "whimsical wishes of the populace?"
The only way would be possible is letting a computer control the populace. But wait, since computers are programmed by people, who are fallible, that wouldn't work either.
You live in fantasyland if you think something like that is possible. How do you propose to eliminate human greed, passion, jealousy, pride, laziness apathy and all the other things that contribute to the human condition?
And what about the people who don't want it? Are you going to MAKE them capitulate? Why that sounds a lot like oppression to me? What will happen to the people who criticize your perfect one world government? Will they be done away with in the night?
