    A man-made concept that doesn’t really make sense and still makes my head spin.

    Let me see…

    • Defined Territory
    • Membership (Citizenship)
    • Freedom of movement within the territory (Usually… but not always… ahem Hukou ahem)
    • Usually controlled boundaries of the territory (aka: borders). Members can usually freely enter or leave (assuming they haven’t violated any of the rules (laws) of the country). Non members would need to have permission. Usually, there are special identity documents given by a person’s country of membership, to be used to ascertain their identity and which country they have membership in.
    • Usually, everyone has at least one country where they have membership in… but some people have zero… and that’s sad, because they aren’t allowed to go to clubs to party without membership 😥 (#EndStatelessnessPls)

    Um yea, countries still make no sense.

    Can we all just be one United Earth?
