Mine impression is just the oposite. There are many seperate national
systems. My reasoning is that an international data base system would
provide too much intelligence data to your less friendly neighbors. It would
make goverment approved identity changes both difficult and note worthy
(spies and witness protection). The same goes for corprate systems.
Mind you this does not mean that countries and corps don't want access to
other id data bases they just don't want to exchange data.
Besides, it provides a loophole that makes the game play better.
As to how it would work.. When you go through the port of entry, your ID
would be checked and a temporary ID ( visa ) issued for your stay. This ID
wold be readable in the readers used within the country and the data would
be in the data base of the country you are visting. A world traveler would be
in many national data bases.
