[QUOTE="sanzar, post: 43540"] Well if we are going to be picky, then technically the nation state is a myth, despite being widely used as a term. Great Britain is a State, meaning it is a sovereign, has set bounderies, is autocratic etc... but it is not a "nation state" because all the people within its borders do no identify with one 'nation' or ethnic cultural heritage... For a state to be a "nation state", all its populus must claim to be of the same ethnic and cultural backround, because otherwise it cannot be identified as a state defined by a single nation. To be clear, a Nation is in fact not a country, but more a cultural identity and common history, thus "the Indian nation" within the US are not a separate country, but a people who all share a common cultural, ethnic and historical backround that have chosen to be officially identified as such... Ok, I'll shut up. [/QUOTE]
