There are already two models for this (which between them account for 
two thirds of the worlds' economy I think): The USA Congress/Senate 
[treating each of the 50 states as mini-country, and they do have their 
own democratic process, governors etc] and the European Parliament [27 
member countries now].

Scaling either of those (and picking the good bits while discarding the 
bad) to include the entire world is left as an exercise for the reader!
