I don’t believe so. The closest thing in my opinion would be a super authoritative government like USSR with 5 year plans. The goals were never achieved but they still had clear cut objectives. Is that what you mean?

I suppose something similar but the objective would be established as the goal of the nation from the start. Staying away from ham fisted central planning like Stalin did. The hypothetical nation would also not be communist. More like hyper capitalist to compete globally.
-
I say the caparlist model for this goal driven society would fail because capitalism would constantly shift focus to where the market wanted to go. There would need to be government intervention to keep everybody on task. But no, nothing like that has existed
-
I was thinking more that the country is the business. Like if Amazon bought an island, made a country and everyone who lived in the island was an employee because they wanted to be/hired. But it would be both a nation and a business with aspects of both.
-
Ahhh ok. I definitely see that happening soon. Once the government comes down in these huge businesses they will become their own sovereign states. Which would be lolz
-
I think so too. They will have to so they can avoid regulations on AI and genetic modification etc. I'm thinking a lot like NOD in command and conquered. 1 to 5% of every GDP on earth but headquartered in it's own nation somewhere or even space.

Sparta?

In this made up county people would more resemble employees then free citizens. Completely voluntarily of course. People could be "hired" around the world. People not wanting to participate can self deport or live much like normal free citizens if in good standing.

Nazi Germany?

Sort of but not really. They were still stuck in version 1.0 nations. I'm trying to figure out 3.0.

United States- Manifest Destiny Russia- Tsars, Commies, and Putin expand to get warm water ports Rhodesia- Wanted to exist Lots of post-colonial states have a taming the frontier mythos Various ancient empires where expansion through conquest was the main goal might fit as well
-
I don't know if this is what you meant by "well defined".
-
Like "build the capacity necessary to allow for colony expansion to mars" or "Build an AI" once a goal is met the next goal is established. It would basically serve as a level over a constitution for example.
-
I think this has existed at the local level but not on a nation-state scale. Settlers in unexplored territory strike me as the most relevant local level example. Their goals being shit like "cut down some trees for houses" and "grow some food so we don't starve".

Yes, ancient Egypt was focused on their many architectural projects like the pyramids

Probably Israel in the post-1948 years. Creating a nation from the ground up pretty much (with western help and money, etc, the usual caveats)
