I just read an article about Nation-Governments* and Fair governments. Writer (Etyen Mahcupyan) says:

Leaving aside the ethics of nation-states or a utilitarian perspective it is the right idea with the manipulation of the attitude is going away. The detriment of the nation-state people only count cold utilitarian logic of hostility, conflict, unable to ignore the pain and death had brought (I just translated these from google translator. It works with turkish too. In some sentences it really baggs but sometimes gives good results...).



(*) Nation-government (Ulus devlet) a term in turkish. I don't know if you have a term like that; in that model goverment's first priority is government's self benefits. This is traditional model on the world unfortunately.
