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)

Onoda'gega (People of the Hills)Onondaga If the man were a chief of the Onondaga Nation, he would wear attached to his feathered hat deer antlers that symbolize his authority as one of the fourteen chiefs of the Nation.

The Onondaga call themselves Onoda'gega, sometimes spelled Onontakeka, which means People of the Hills, or Onondagaono (The People of the Hills). www.peace4turtleisland.org /pages/onondaga.htm   (2546 words)

MSN Encarta - Turkey (country) The military, which sees itself as the ultimate guardian of the principles of Kemalism, has intervened in the political process on four occasions—in 1960, 1971, 1980, and 1997—because it feared that political parties posed a threat to the secular nature of the state.

Nation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In common usage, terms such as nations, country, land and state often appear as near-synonyms, i.e., for a territory under a single sovereign government, or the inhabitants of such a territory, or the government itself; in other words, a de jure or de facto state. The nationals are the members of the "nation" and are distinguished by a common identity, and almost always by a common origin, in the sense of ancestry, parentage or descent. Nationals are considered to share certain traits and norms of behavior, certain duties toward other members, and certain responsibilities for the actions of the members of the same nation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Nation   (1211 words)

The Georgian - South Ossetian Conflict, chapter 5 These were defined as nation states, with the exception of the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic, which was defined as a multinational state. 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.

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)
