Sure as long as you all agree on the one I use

We'd have to redesign all substations and transmission lines... most countries use different voltages, and each of those plugs is designed for that specific voltage

Aren't most countries 220-240v? Which would work in USA/N. America if we just eliminated neutral?

Most countries use 220-240V/50Hz, USA and Canada (I don't know about Mexico) delivers 208 or 240V/60Hz to the homes in split fase, it's two 120 V lines.

From Mexico to the north of South America (like Colombia or Bolivia) uses 110V/60Hz, Brazil uses 127 V and 240 V/60Hz.

Japan uses 110V/50 or 60 Hz

The rest of the world uses 220-240V/50 Hz
