	National Party of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The party's membership and support base have been under strain in recent years, being caught between the populist economic and cultural demands of the more socially conservative part of its rural electorate (attracted to the One Nation Party), rising rural support for independents, and the growing strength of the Liberal Party in country areas.
		By the 1960s the Country Party was losing ground electorally to the Liberals as the rural population declined, and in 1975 it changed its name to the National Country Party as part of a strategy to expand into urban areas.
		At the 1922 election the Country Party was established as a national party led by Dr Earle Page of Grafton, NSW.

		As a vast literature on nations and nationalism has argued over the past several decades, all nations are "artificial" or constructed; the nation is not a primordial, organic entity, but an "imagined community" that is formed in a continual process of invention and negotiation.
		As a direct result of Soviet rule, aspects of nation formation that took decades or centuries elsewhere--the establishment of a national territory and government institutions, the standardization of a national language, and the emergence of a mass educational system--were accomplished in Turkmenistan and its neighbors in less than a decade.
		Modern states, whether national or imperial, typically seek to create a set of "totalizing classifications" in place of the premodern blur of diffuse and overlapping identities; in this sense, the Soviet regime's efforts to categorize its population by ethnicity were not exceptional.
