What is a nation? It is a collection of people consisting of a common culture, common language, and common border. It allows for mutual understanding, mutual communication, and mutual protection. Most nation states are around the size of each of our American States. And our own States were effectively nation states of their own, with their own cultures, languages, and border defenses, until advancing technologies like railroads made communications and travel faster. Now that every city has real time communications and daily travel links, our cities in general have a single common culture while the rural regions around them continue to hold to the old cultures that the States were once known for. Now those are considered backwards by many, especially in the cities, and that has created a problem in America.
