In a thriving nation-state, the state does very little, and the nation accomplishes a lot. Because the state does very little, politics is a very small part of life. Because the nation accomplishes a lot, national pride is a big part of life.

Not sure. Nation state is a new phenomenon. There was a multilevel movement to build it up based on smaller scale local patriotism post French rev. We'll see how "natural" it is on state level in the next 100 yrs... Or how much it depends on *which* country you're in.
