Nations

This Category Page is a List of Nations to be found on the planet Aiers IV or within the Nebulosa of Ots.

Nation (from Dumian: natio, "people, tribe, kin, genus, class, flock") is a social concept with no uncontroversial definition, but which is most commonly used to designate larger groups or collectives of people with common characteristics attributed to them - including language, traditions, customs (mores), habits (habitus), and ethnicity. This definition, however, is empirically inadequate, since no nation could meet this definition entirely. A nation, by comparison, is more impersonal, abstract, and overtly political than an ethnic group. It is a cultural-political community that has become conscious of its autonomy, unity, and particular interests.
