The Loss Of A Nation-State

The Old, Struggling American Nation-State(s)

It is inaccurate to describe the United States of America as a nation-state. It may have been at one time (or it may have been a confederation of nation-states at one time, depending on your view), but it is not now.

If there is no power in the hands of one nation, and there exists no supermajority demographic, then there definitely is no nation-state.

Instead, we just have a bunch of independent nations vying for power and privilege within a rapidly decaying empire.
