No set way in which a state dies, or is born
No set way in which a state dies, or is born
There is no set way in which a state dies, any more than there is a set way in which a state is born. After states took the form of administrative mechanisms in the analogue world they succeeded one another over time, steadily but surely occupying every corner of the planet. In essence, humans’ recorded history can be read as the succession of states. Tribes and extended families formed larger, more established communities; empires swallowed up kingdoms or city-states; and kingdoms or city-states emerged from disintegrating empires, in a timeline which appears to continue indefinitely (or a cycle, depending on one’s personal views). Violence, while present in most such changes, is not always necessary.
