nonsense. we need to stop recognizing "nations" with more than 10 million people. unleadable horrors, ungovernable monstrosities, scaled far beyond what the form can support, tied together by industrial extrusions (the newspaper, the radio, the teevee, the standard language, the imperial rites invented by the government and changed by its whim), whose monocultures incubate mass hysterias and senseless atrocities (hollywood, brony discourse, the iraq war, gamergate). the only real countries are those of the right scale to have a national epic collected from villagers and published in 1835
