Has one and only one person formed a nation out of a idea?

Nations are formed by people (whom are willing to fight and defend it) cultural ideology and ancestry amongst other factors. To say a single nation was formed by a single person would be incorrect. It's not impossible but very unlikely.

No, I haven't.\nNo, I do not have the slightest intention of ever doing so.\nAnd no, if we did that we'd probably end up taking out half our own people.

In the United States, most people believe in the "marketplace of ideas". That is, that the more arguments and opinions we talk about the more likely we are to find the right answer.\n\nThe problem with only having one party is that you are less likely to get a diversity of opinions. Consequently, you're less likely to find the best solution to a given problem.\n\nOf course, it's possible to have a marketplace of ideas within one party...but the whole point of a "party" is to organize a bunch of people who beleive the whole thing.

The entire point of the Constitution was to separate us from a European point- of -view! Our founders were so disgusted by the imperial British, French, Spanish, Prussian, Hungarian monarchical incest and interbreeding, as well as the constant state of war on the Continent, that they created an entire system from scratch that was NOT European. Soooo, who gives a rat's patootie WHAT the Euros think? No one is fighting to emigrate to Poland, are they?

Whoever argues in favor of a one world government isn't thinking straight.\n\nDo you have arguements within your own immediate family? Divorce, abuse, hate, neglect, dysfuntion??? Of course! We all do. It's the human way. It doesn't matter rather you share the same last name, the same hair color, skin color, eye color, language, religion, or PARENTS! None of those facts stop fighting within families so it is completely ILLOGICAL TO THINK IT WILL STOP IT WITHIN THE ENTIRE WORLD.\n\nA one world government and talk of it has to do with one thing only. Centralizing power into the hand of a very few, more so than now, and taking away a person's ability to flee that power by moving to another country. In essence, it's about TRAPPING PEOPLE into the hands of a few who think they are important enough to control everyone. THAT IS ALL! It will do nothing good for you, me, or anyone else but those at the absolute top in control of the entire world. People better recognize that that's what globalization is about and start attempting collectively to break it up now.

This is true of most nations. There is great diversity in India, There is in the US too. Look at Iraq. There are just three nations which are already diverse in a world which is becoming more diverse daily. I n my mind, it is important that the population of a country identify themselves as nationals of that country and participate in its culture to strengthen a sense of community. However, the thousands of years of separatism in ay given place does not allow any other nation to dismiss it, rationally. As a sovereign nation, it may be difficult to integrate the needs of all the subsets of communities, but it is impossible to say that a nation must first unite its population before we can build good relations with that nation. The stakes are so very high.

First, I could be wrong, but I didn't think the Quebec-as-nation recognition has officially come yet. The PM said he considered Quebec to be a nation "within a united Canada" on Nov. 22 and that he'd introduce a motion to the House of Commons. No vote should have happened yet, unless I've missed something.\n\nAs for other nations inside Canada: no. Quebec is a unique case. It would be interesting to see aliens ask for one, though. But I think I get your point. Why make nations within nations? But Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have had their devolution thing going on in the UK, and that country is still ticking.

There's a reason that no one nation rules the whole world. Is this a serious question?

Not that it matters because he can't ever run again but NO.  Frankly, I don't think we should stick with one guy or one party for too long.  It's a bad idea.  If we change things up, we make sure that in the long run, every thing balances out and we don't become a country ruled by only one ideology.  No one has time to grab enough control to make everyone else miserable for the rest of eternity! :)

Perhaps, but it will never happen.  Under the U.S. Constitution, no state can be created by dividing territory of existing states.\n\n(West Virginia doesn't count because when it was created Virginia was in rebellion and, therefore, not a state.)

The idea here is that systems are created by people and not single individuals. The Iranian people by whatever reason rosed against the regime of the Shah in 1979 to usher in the current system.For the past 26 years the story has been to change again, one wonders whether Iranians have not understood their action well when the topple the Monarchy in 1979. At any rate it seems the current govt is having as much support and enemies from in and out side. With the current deadlock one could but only think the regime can survive if the people fighting it continue to be divided. The strength of any sysytem lies in the unity of its people and thier loyality towards the establishment.

Uniting religion, will not happen, too hard. Nations, no way, government, isn't that same as nations!  Peace on Earth! will not happen as long as we continue with our struggle against each others.  The least unity possible is religion, no matter how much we try, we will never see it, at lest in our life time, and these days it is getting less and less possible to be.

Our country was founded by men or different beliefs mostly Christian, who kept slaves and allowed no one to vote except for white male landowners.  Their ideas of freedom came mostly from Scottish and English philosophers some of whom were explicitly athiestic and none of whom based their philosophy on Biblical precepts.\n\nSo no.\n\nJust wondering why you had to ask this twice.

Your question really has no answer, if it did, everyone would be implementing those ideas all around the world.  You can't change others or countries, only yourself.  Study hard, work hard, take risks and keep an open mind to new views and ways of doing things...that's all anyone can do.

America is ONE nation...there was no cohesive government to allow people to come to America back then. There were many many Tribes, some were war like and some weren't...they all wanted to attain what we have today...sooo..to answer you, NO...America belongs to Americans..The declaration of independence was written by Americans for the rest of the world to understand that from now on...we are a nation and will protect our own.

It was COUNTROS - Lord of imaginary borders!!!   Actually, countries arose naturally out of the territorial nature of mankind. Individual caves belonged to individual cavemen, separate hills and plains belonged to separate groups of men and women, separate kingdoms controlled separate regions, and so on... Nothing was ever established to begin it all, it was simply accepted because everyone throughout our history divided the lands more and more.   I think that countries should exist, to break governing responsibilities down further than one man to rule all, but countries should never rival each other. Additionally, different countries have generated different civilizations, and with them different values, lifestyles, artforms, and countless different ways to view life itself.
