For a start, they have a different attitude to their territory compared to dynastic monarchies: it is semisacred and nontransferable. No nation would swap territory with other states simply, for example, because the king's daughter married. They have a different type of <a href="/wiki/Border" title="Border">border</a>, in principle, defined only by the national group's settlement area. However, many nation-states also sought natural borders (rivers, mountain ranges). They are constantly changing in population size and power because of the limited restrictions of their borders. </p><p>The most noticeable characteristic is the degree to which nation-states use the state as an instrument of national unity in economic, social and cultural life. </p><p>The nation-state promoted economic unity by abolishing internal <a href="/wiki/Customs" title="Customs">customs</a> and <a href="/wiki/Toll_road" title="Toll road">tolls</a>. In Germany, that process, the creation of the <a href="/wiki/Zollverein" title="Zollverein">Zollverein</a>, preceded formal national unity. Nation states typically have a policy to create and maintain national transportation infrastructure, facilitating trade and travel. In 19th-century Europe, the expansion of the <a href="/wiki/Rail_transport" title="Rail transport">rail transport</a> networks was at first largely a matter for <a href="/wiki/Private_enterprise" class="mw-redirect" title="Private enterprise">private</a> railway companies but gradually came under the control of the national governments. The French rail network, with its main lines radiating from Paris to all corners of France, is often seen as a reflection of the centralised French nation-state, which <a href="/wiki/History_of_rail_transport_in_France" title="History of rail transport in France">directed its construction</a>. Nation states continue to build, for instance, specifically national <a href="/wiki/Motorway" class="mw-redirect" title="Motorway">motorway</a> networks. Specifically, transnational infrastructure programmes, such as the <a href="/wiki/Trans-European_Networks" title="Trans-European Networks">Trans-European Networks</a>, are a recent innovation. </p><p>The nation-states typically had a more centralised and uniform <a href="/wiki/Public_administration" title="Public administration">public administration</a> than their imperial predecessors: they were smaller, and the population was less diverse. (The internal diversity of the <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Ottoman Empire</a>, for instance, was very great.) After the 19th-century triumph of the nation-state in Europe, regional identity was subordinate to national identity in regions such as <a href="/wiki/Alsace-Lorraine" class="mw-redirect" title="Alsace-Lorraine">Alsace-Lorraine</a>, <a href="/wiki/Catalonia" title="Catalonia">Catalonia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Brittany" title="Brittany">Brittany</a> and <a href="/wiki/Corsica" title="Corsica">Corsica</a>. In many cases, the regional administration was also subordinated to the central (national) government. This process was partially reversed from the 1970s onward, with the introduction of various forms of <a href="/wiki/Regional_autonomy" title="Regional autonomy">regional autonomy</a>, in formerly <a href="/wiki/Centralised_government" class="mw-redirect" title="Centralised government">centralised</a> states such as <a href="/wiki/Spain" title="Spain">Spain</a> or <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a>. </p><p>The most apparent impact of the nation-state, as compared to its non-national predecessors, is creating a uniform national <a href="/wiki/Culture" title="Culture">culture</a> through state policy. The model of the nation-state implies that its population constitutes a <a href="/wiki/Nation" title="Nation">nation</a>, united by a common descent, a common language and many forms of shared culture. When implied unity was absent, the nation-state often tried to create it. It promoted a uniform national language through <a href="/wiki/Language_policy" title="Language policy">language policy</a>. The creation of national systems of compulsory <a href="/wiki/Primary_education" title="Primary education">primary education</a> and a relatively uniform <a href="/wiki/Curriculum" title="Curriculum">curriculum</a> in secondary schools was the most effective instrument in the spread of the <a href="/wiki/National_language" title="National language">national languages</a>. The schools also taught national history, often in a <a href="/wiki/Historiography_and_nationalism" class="mw-redirect" title="Historiography and nationalism">propagandistic and mythologised version</a>, and (especially during conflicts) some nation-states still teach this kind of history.<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Language and cultural policy was sometimes hostile, aimed at suppressing non-national elements.

But where it worked, the cultural uniformity and homogeneity of the population increased. Conversely, the cultural divergence at the border became sharper: in theory, a uniform French identity extends from the Atlantic coast to the <a href="/wiki/Rhine" title="Rhine">Rhine</a>, and on the other bank of the Rhine, a uniform German identity begins. Both sides have divergent <a href="/wiki/Language_policy" title="Language policy">language policy</a> and educational systems to enforce that model. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="In_practice">In practice</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nation_state&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: In practice"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444"><table class="box-Original_research plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Original_research" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b4/Ambox_important.svg/40px-Ambox_important.svg.png" decoding="async" width="40" height="40" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b4/Ambox_important.svg/60px-Ambox_important.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b4/Ambox_important.svg/80px-Ambox_important.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="40" data-file-height="40" /></span></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>possibly contains <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research" title="Wikipedia:No original research">original research</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nation_state&action=edit">improve it</a> by <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verifying</a> the claims made and adding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Inline_citations" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">inline citations</a>.

An ethnic nationalist definition of a <a href="/wiki/Nation" title="Nation">nation</a> is necessarily exclusive: ethnic nations typically do not have open membership. In most cases, there is a clear idea that surrounding nations are different, and that includes members of those nations who live on the "wrong side" of the border. Historical examples of groups who have been specifically singled out as <i>outsiders</i> are the <a href="/wiki/Romani_people" title="Romani people">Roma</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jews" title="Jews">Jews</a> in Europe. </p><p>Negative responses to minorities within the nation state have ranged from <a href="/wiki/Cultural_assimilation" title="Cultural assimilation">cultural assimilation</a> enforced by the state, to <a href="/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing" title="Ethnic cleansing">expulsion</a>, persecution, violence, and <a href="/wiki/Genocide" title="Genocide">extermination</a>. The assimilation policies are usually enforced by the state, but violence against minorities is not always state-initiated: it can occur in the form of <a href="/wiki/Mob_violence" class="mw-redirect" title="Mob violence">mob violence</a> such as <a href="/wiki/Lynching" title="Lynching">lynching</a> or <a href="/wiki/Pogrom" title="Pogrom">pogroms</a>. Nation states are responsible for some of the worst historical examples of violence against minorities not considered part of the nation. </p><p>However, many nation states accept specific minorities as being part of the nation, and the term <i>national minority</i> is often used in this sense. The <a href="/wiki/Sorbs" title="Sorbs">Sorbs</a> in Germany are an example: for centuries they have lived in German-speaking states, surrounded by a much larger ethnic German population, and they have no other historical territory. They are now generally considered to be part of the German nation and are accepted as such by the Federal Republic of Germany, which constitutionally guarantees their cultural rights. Of the thousands of ethnic and cultural minorities in nation states across the world, only a few have this level of acceptance and protection. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Multiculturalism" title="Multiculturalism">Multiculturalism</a> is an official policy in some states, establishing the ideal of coexisting existence among multiple and separate ethnic, cultural, and linguistic groups. Other states prefer the <a href="/wiki/Interculturalism" title="Interculturalism">interculturalism</a> (or "<a href="/wiki/Melting_pot" title="Melting pot">melting pot</a>" approach) alternative to multiculturalism, citing <a href="/wiki/Criticism_of_multiculturalism" title="Criticism of multiculturalism">problems</a> with latter as promoting <a href="/wiki/Self-segregation" title="Self-segregation">self-segregation</a> tendencies among minority groups, challenging national cohesion, polarizing society in groups that can't relate to one another, generating problems in regard to minorities and immigrants' fluency in the national language of use and integration with the rest of society (generating hate and persecution against them from the "otherness" they would generate in such a case according to its adherents), without minorities having to give up certain parts of their culture before being absorbed into a now changed majority culture by their contribution. Many nations have laws protecting <a href="/wiki/Minority_rights" title="Minority rights">minority rights</a>. </p><p>When national boundaries that do not match ethnic boundaries are drawn, such as in the <a href="/wiki/Balkans" title="Balkans">Balkans</a> and <a href="/wiki/Central_Asia" title="Central Asia">Central Asia</a>, ethnic tension, massacres and even <a href="/wiki/Genocide" title="Genocide">genocide</a>, sometimes has occurred historically (see <a href="/wiki/Bosnian_genocide" title="Bosnian genocide">Bosnian genocide</a> and <a href="/wiki/2010_South_Kyrgyzstan_ethnic_clashes" title="2010 South Kyrgyzstan ethnic clashes">2010 South Kyrgyzstan ethnic clashes</a>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Irredentism">Irredentism</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nation_state&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Irredentism"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444"><table class="box-Unreferenced_section plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Unreferenced" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Question_book-new.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="39" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/75px-Question_book-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/100px-Question_book-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="399" /></a></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>does not <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">cite</a> any <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">sources</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please help <a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/Nation_state" title="Special:EditPage/Nation state">improve this section</a> by <a href="/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners" title="Help:Referencing for beginners">adding citations to reliable sources</a>.

Again, in practice, some of them always live on the 'wrong side' of the border. Part of the national homeland may be there too, and it may be governed by the 'wrong' nation. The response to the non-inclusion of territory and population may take the form of <a href="/wiki/Irredentism" title="Irredentism">irredentism</a>: demands to annex <i>unredeemed</i> territory and incorporate it into the nation state. </p><p>Irredentist claims are usually based on the fact that an identifiable part of the national group lives across the border. However, they can include claims to territory where no members of that nation live at present, because they lived there in the past, the national language is spoken in that region, the national culture has influenced it, geographical unity with the existing territory, or a wide variety of other reasons. Past grievances are usually involved and can cause <a href="/wiki/Revanchism" title="Revanchism">revanchism</a>. </p><p>It is sometimes difficult to distinguish irredentism from <a href="/wiki/Pan-nationalism" title="Pan-nationalism">pan-nationalism</a>, since both claim that all members of an ethnic and cultural nation belong in one specific state. Pan-nationalism is less likely to specify the nation ethnically. For instance, variants of <a href="/wiki/Pan-Germanism" title="Pan-Germanism">Pan-Germanism</a> have different ideas about what constituted <a href="/wiki/Kleindeutschland_and_Gro%C3%9Fdeutschland" class="mw-redirect" title="Kleindeutschland and Großdeutschland">Greater Germany</a>, including the confusing term <i>Grossdeutschland</i>, which, in fact, implied the inclusion of huge <a href="/wiki/Slav" class="mw-redirect" title="Slav">Slavic</a> minorities from the <a href="/wiki/Austro-Hungarian_Empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Austro-Hungarian Empire">Austro-Hungarian Empire</a>. </p><p>Typically, irredentist demands are at first made by members of non-state nationalist movements. When they are adopted by a state, they typically result in tensions, and actual attempts at annexation are always considered a <i><a href="/wiki/Casus_belli" title="Casus belli">casus belli</a></i>, a cause for <a href="/wiki/War" title="War">war</a>. In many cases, such claims result in long-term hostile relations between neighbouring states. Irredentist movements typically circulate maps of the claimed national territory, the <i>greater</i> nation state. That territory, which is often much larger than the existing state, plays a central role in their propaganda. </p><p>Irredentism should not be confused with claims to overseas colonies, which are not generally considered part of the national homeland. Some French overseas colonies would be an exception: <a href="/wiki/French_rule_in_Algeria" class="mw-redirect" title="French rule in Algeria">French rule in Algeria</a> unsuccessfully treated the colony as a <i><a href="/wiki/D%C3%A9partement_in_France" class="mw-redirect" title="Département in France">département</a></i> of France. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Future">Future</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nation_state&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Future"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>It has been speculated by both proponents of <a href="/wiki/Globalization" title="Globalization">globalization</a> and various <a href="/wiki/Science_fiction" title="Science fiction">science fiction</a> writers that the concept of a nation state may disappear with the ever-increasing interconnectedness of the world.<sup id="cite_ref-ref1_25-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref1-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Such ideas are sometimes expressed around concepts of a <a href="/wiki/World_government" title="World government">world government</a>.

Indeed, they often put so much emphasis on the importance of the nation state in modern times, that they distort the history of earlier periods in order to emphasize the question of origins.
