relevance of logic to nation building?

Question

the issue, analysis of the issue and its relevance

Answer 1

It is very hard to build a nation. Artificial constructions like Yugoslavia have fallen apart for this reason even after a century. Others like Belgium struggle to hold together across the natural divide.

Logic? I would observe that nations usually have some commonality of culture, language, history and religion -- or at least two or three of these -- plus geographical coherence. But the new 'in' thing is multiculturalism. Countries like Canada which have two main and several minor languages and religious diversity are flourishing because the goodwill is there for them to.

Answer 2

Logic is only reitive to those that are building the nation, and as to who that nation will benefit. Any Nation is built in accordance to it's victor. Whether by revolution or occupation, or by landlord.
