Civilopedia entry[]
Nations are considered ancient; they are not. The Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 was the first document to establish the system of nation-states – geographically bound entities entirely sovereign in their own borders. This system is taken as natural; it is anything but, and in the years since the 17th century, we have been hard at work to reinforce the concept. Benedict Anderson terms the nation as an “imagined community,” where individuals who never met in person imagine they have something in common. For Anderson, this commonality comes from a standardization of languages, a single viewpoint (e.g. the development of the newspaper), and the growth of the centralized, bureaucratic state. When colonial powers traveled to other parts of the globe, they brought this idea of bounded nation-states with their own ethnicities, histories, and geographies – quantities inseparable from their neighbors.
