What is the process for travelling on a World Passport like?
An answer to one of today's popular questions (here) mentions the existence of the "World Passport". This is a passport which is not issued by any nation state, but by an organization that wants to establish a global government in its place.
Surprisingly (to me), the passport is accepted nearly everywhere (see here), and so seems like a handy thing to have.
I'm curious what travelling under such a document is like in practice though. Does "accepted" mean "after 4 hours of detention and questioning", or is it just like travelling on any other passport? Do visa requirements end up being stricter? Does the user have to prove their citizenship of some other country?
