Nick i agree with your ideas about the "Lightning Rods", because we only unite as a race when something tragic happens, and that these events only bring us together for a short amount of time, this is why i dont think a sovereign would do much good. if the sovereign were to try and manufacture world wide events to bring people together not only would they end up killing many, because, like nick said these events are usually "very fatal to those involved", and also the sovereign would have to create endless amounts of these events to keep us united for ever.
another reason that this would not be very effective is because the people would one way or another start to catch on that these things were not happening naturally. though this would cause people to unite it would not be for the better, they would gang up on the sovereign and kick them out of power. after they were out there would be no order and also, no more constant "Lightning Rods".
