The state is timeless

The state existed as soon as humans started using language and has never ceased to exist since. Humans have never been, and can never be, found outside of a state. States are therefore agnostic of (i.e. not an expression of) nations and nationalities, ethnic differences, ‘national characters’ or ‘national souls’, or any other distinctions ever placed upon humans. Although it would be foolish to deny their existence, it is important to note that these distinctions are the result of politics (politics being the result of the existence of states as information platforms for their citizens and individuals competing to augment their information processing in the analogue world where there is a finite amount of information, see §12.00.00 and §12.00.01). What is important to keep in mind is that any human ever born once humans gained self-consciousness and invented language, was born into a state. How that particular individualised human and that particular state fared (or fares) on our planet is a matter of politics, not of existence of the state itself. Having said that, it is also important to remember that, once established, the link between each individual and the individual’s state is unbreakable. Individuals may find themselves in different states during their lifetimes or experience grave changes within their states for whatever reason and in various contexts; however, all of these situations are the results of political (or personal) decisions that do not affect the (continuous) existence of their state.
