If you mean that they satisfy our psychological needs in the same way -- well, I have said so myself. Nation-building is a modern response to our tribal instincts (not that it always works as desired).

I appreciate what you're all saying about the difference that readily becomes apparent in organisational terms once you get a proper state apparatus up and running, like Alfred, but I'm thinking more on the terms of the psychological impulses behind these phenomena.  To me, the nation and 'tribe' is one and the same.
