reminds me of how people actually tried to buy an island to make pirating legal, which didn't succeed

" I my self consider united states a nation-state", not " sovereign states " - just a small correction

So you mentioned being "multi-ethnic" and "multi-lingual" as a sign of NOT being a nation-state, however you named Iran as a nation-state. Iran has multiple ethnicities and a few different languages that are spoken in different parts. Only about 60-70 percent of Iranians are Persians. So as a Persian-Iranian, who was born and raised there, I would argue that Iran is not in fact a nation-state. We have Kurds, Azeris, Arabs, Baluchis, Turkmens, Armenians and some other ethnicities that I am forgetting right now, but still all are Iranian! So is Iran a nation-state?

have a sub, i'm in your class anyway
