Auron says: will people fight for it?

What we really need is nations within nations?

One problem, indeed, is that we are in a transition phase where our own natives are stateless because the state has grown larger than the biological mass that supports it.

This is related to the idea that a nation should only pursue front-door border expansion. Backdoor deals to extract resources create a selfish elite who will betray their countrymen if they begin to falter.

If we were to have a real international coalition, it would make sense for it to be a brotherhood who agree on basic things and compete with one another. Instead, we have a mass movement to live as comfortably as possible while our elites compete to extract Life from the body of a dying empire.

The propositional nation is an attempt to capitalize on demographics, while also removing rivalry with native conservatives.

But it's true that there are some good things about a possible propositional nation:

It makes war less likely, because it allows for many peoples and cultures to coexist without violence.

Perhaps what we need is to allow for more inter-identity competition within the nation, essentially creating nations within nations.
