Nation-state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The nation-state implies the parallel occurrence of a state and a nation. In the ideal nation-state, the population consists of the nation and only of the nation: the state not only houses it, but protects it and its national identity (i.e., they coincide exactly): every member of the nation is a permanent resident of the nation-state, and no member of the nation permanently resides outside it. The idea of a nation-state is associated with the rise of the modern system of states, usually dated to the Treaty of Westphalia (1648). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Nation_state   (2546 words)

The Georgian - South Ossetian Conflict, chapter 5 But even though, the tendency is clear, the titular nations, in the case of the Union Republic of Georgia, Georgians, Abkhazians and South Ossetians, were in their designated homelands subject to affirmative action programmes as first-order or second-order titular nationalities, leading to a disproportionate overrepresentation in the party organs, professional employment and higher education. In Transcaucasus local party elites created a corrupt system of favouritism of the members of the titular nationality, which meant discrimination against minority ethnic groups living within the homelands of other ethnic groups (Suny 1990, p.24 and Roeder 1991, p.208); the seeds to inter-ethnic conflict were sowed. The titular nationalities are clearly overrepresentated in comparison to their share of the population at large. www.caucasus.dk /chapter5.htm   (1964 words)

The Osage Indians Osage lands in Arkansas and Missouri were taken by the U.S. government in 1808 and 1818, and in 1825 an Osage reservation was established in southeastern Kansas.

What is Bastard Nation? A Short History by Damsel Plum Bastard Nation asserts that it is the right of people everywhere to have their official original birth record unaltered and free from falsification, and that the adoptive status of any person should not prohibit them from exercising such a right. Bastard Nation's primary goal is the opening to adoptees, upon request at age of majority, of those government documents which pertain to the adoptee's historical, genetic, and legal identity, including the unaltered original birth certificate and adoption decree. Bastard Nation does not support mandated mutual consent registries or intermediary systems in place of fully open records, nor any other system that is less than access on demand to the adult adoptee, without compromise, and without qualification. www.adopting.org /WhatIsBastardNation.html   (856 words)
