I have been thinking about this some more. The word 'nation' comes from the Latin nasci which means to be born. We live in a world of nations but this was not always so. It seems we are born into a nation thus belonging to it. Now, nationalism itself is consider to be less than two hundred years old. Perhaps the idea that people constitute a nation emerged during the French Revolution as it was used to give purpose to the revolution. Because a nation is considered to not be ruled by a religious order or monarch. So, when did people identify certain areas no longer territories but nations? So this means that a nation is not just politically defined but also culturally. Maybe it is not possible to come up with the first nation because it has too many definitions or the term is ambiguous alone. So, could it be France if we call it the first nation-state instead of nation where a group of people in a defined area share a common culture, history, and language under the administration of a single government?
