      Everyone says "nation states" when they mean "states". Stop doing that.

      2/ Valid question! Nation = a homogenous / unified body of people. "The nation of Englishman", "the Japanese people", etc. State = government for Japan, nation = state for Soviet Union, many nations, one state for Germans, one nation, many stateshttps://twitter.com/ANiculitcheff/status/1187744147354075138 …

      Isn't nation state just the state of a nation, oposing non nation states like the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or Yuguslavia? For most developed countries nation state=state.

      3/ yes! Nation states were a kind of new (rediscovered?) concept as feudalism was declining and modern nations were coalescing. No more would a German king have a small Italian province; states were organized around cohesive populations. ...briefly.https://twitter.com/random_scrub/status/1187744662339100673 …

      I’ve found that it is Nation that proves most troublesome. Mostly because our history education is so bad most don’t understand that it’s an ethnocultural thing that is only sometimes aligned with the state that governs.

      More broadly, one problem here is that @MorlockP seems to take states as being exogenous and "ethnocultural" formations as inherent. In fact, what people view as being key to their ethnos/culture is often articulated and propagated by states, to facilitate war/taxation/repression

      I do? I don't see that as being explicit or implicit in anything I said.

      I'm trying to say that your contrast of the "nation" and the "state" disregards ways that states very consciously try to shape the characteristics of the nation, & ways that members of an ethnic group themselves shift their practices & relevant symbols over time.

      I understand and agree with your point, but think that it's entirely orthogonal to my point. Yes, over time a state can - MAYBE - convert two nations into one. Before that's complete, 1 state, 2 nations. After, 1 state, 1 nation. My point still holds, yes?

          Yes. I wonder whether "nation-state" should be reserved for states actively "aligning" their populations around the symbols/narratives/interests of the ethnic majority (say, Turkey & China) and "antination-state" for states actively trying to disrupt such symbols/narratives
