4♦, majors. I'll back in with 5♥ and hope that this is a reasonable description.

Easy answer 1: 4♥.
Easy answer 2: 5NT
More complicated one: pass + bid later.

Seems like correct translation of Dutch "wereldconventie" is Leaping Michaels (not sure if that is also used for both majors).

Where I want to be, if partner has one more spade than hearts. And often where I want to be if he has two more.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:
- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

The story goes that a certain Dutch top player (I don't remember who) was introduced to Leaping Michaels. He exclaimed: "That's a fantastic convention!", but obviously he said these words in Dutch: "Wat een wereldconventie!". (In a word to word translation this would mean: "What a world convention!".)
Ever since, the Dutch (and Flemish) have used the term "wereldconventie" to describe Leaping Michaels and non Leaping Michaels. (Regular Michaels is still called Michaels.)

Hand and bidding:
P-(3♣!)-3♥-(P)
3NT-(P)-4♠-All Pass
3♣=♦-preempt or something strong, eg 2 suiter minors GF...I expected it to be 2 suiter minors GF,
3♥=Did not expect that this would be passed out & wasn't sure partner would understand 4♦
Scoring: IMP

I just ran a simulation on:
www.resultmerchant.com
It fully supports the 4♠-bid.
