Is there or has there ever been a country where the purpose of the nation is to work toward well defined physical objectives?

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.
