It always seems an odd entity "the nation", "my nation" and usually means, "my gang" and "my bank account". Otherwise, just what does it mean? My nation = GDP. Or My Nation = clean air per cubic metre. Or My Nation = total land area. Or My Nation = [Land area x GDP + Number of People]/Average age of people?

Maurice - it seems you have become a "one world" person. I am surprised. Nations are a necessary means for a democratic people to express their interests. As Churchill said, "democracy is a terrible system except when compared to the alternatives" or something like that.
