A Caliphate in Today's world is impossible, it can't exist and won't function, there are many reasons for this.
1). We should keep in mind why Bangladesh seceded from Pakistan in 1971, among the major reasons was cultural and ethnic/racial differences. While the Punjabi, Baluchi, Pashtun, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Seraiki, and various other West Pakistani Ethnic groups made a few compromises with regards to Urdu as National language as well as other matters, the Bangali had problems with these compromises in order to conform to National Unity. Although the resistance at first was not strong, it gained momentum and finally in 1971, there was bloodshed of fellow countrymen.
2). How can a single Muslim body (Caliphate) function while composed of so many different people with different ideologies, different beliefs, different races and ethnicities as well as different languages and cultures? Who will be the Caliph? Will he be a Shiite or a Sunni? Or a Sufi? Or a Salafi/Wahabi? Will he be a Persian, or an Arab, or an Afghan(Pashtun), or a Turk? Will the Shariah law be Sunni Shariah law or a Shiite version? Will the Secular minded Central Asian Muslims and Turks accept Shariah law? Will the Sufis be considered as "Bidatis" and therefore executed? Etc
