A collective worship of this:

Fading Nations is how people get pillaged, raped, and become conquered. A nation is just a large tribe. A group of people with a shared race, values, customs, and language. Bad governance is not an argument against nations.

yes. go to the root fucking etymology. Natal.

A nation is a people. You are conflating the term nation, with the nation-state, an institution that was created ostensibly to protect, care for and nurture the development of a particular nation.
