States were not artificially created by humans

Chapter 09 — State formation – from word of mouth to the modern state • Paragraph 2 • §09.00.02.00

States were not artificially created by humans for the purpose of individualisation (or for any other purpose for that matter—for example, under social contract theory, for security purposes or for the protection of property). Humans did not create them consciously, deliberately or intentionally to serve a specific purpose, as is the case for all other organisations (see §02.00.06 and §02.00.09). On the contrary, states emerged naturally, first through human communication and spoken language and then, once writing was invented, as the administrative and bureaucratic mechanisms still known to us today.
