But nations and nationalisms are continually being invented. A multi-ethnic continent can be a nation. I live in one such case. Another example is what I would describe as the emerging "EU-nationalism".
And for what its worth I think virtually all nationalisms suck -- IMO they serve mainly as vehicles for accumulation and the displining of labour.
