I'm a bit confused here - who is running the world government? Only those five
un-named people who only get screen time when a catastrophe happens? Do we
know their names or backgrounds?

Who exactly is running the One Piece government?


Your question in the title and in the message aren't the same so I'll answer
the first one.

> The World Government is a political organization comprised of the majority
> of the world at large, ruled by the Gorosei.

The Gorosei is composed of 5 members and on the wiki they say :

> The Gorosei (literally meaning "Five Elder Stars") are the heads of the
> World Government, and as such, they essentially rule the entire world. They
> are the five men who rule above the Marines, Cipher Pol, and the ones who
> made a pact with the Shichibukai, making them one of the main antagonists of
> the series.

As you said :

> So far, none of their names have been revealed.

And about their screentime since they are the organization recruiting the
Shichibukai, we can guess they will be the last organization that Luffy's team
will fight. But this is just a guess since your question can't be answered
until the manga is finished.

Here you can check my source and learn more about them :
