Yes. EVERYONE on earth could do that. How well would that work out?

travel without fossil fuels?  empathy?  instant food anywhere for anyone?  capitalism would collapse and the republican problem would finally be solved.  If they don't like it they can go join the Ferengi, where they belong.  Looks like win/win to me.

In the world of Star Trek, all planets have but a single culture and civilization, so I guess so.

And, Fleetwoof, you're right. No evil dictators or criminals would exist in such a scenario, so you're golden. ...wait a minute, I'm being issued a correction. They would. Never mind.
