Amit, some initial thoughts....





"...power was consolidated inside the newly created (middle east) states, either by an old notable or prominent family who assumed the title of monarch, or under a military officer who rose to power through some combination of coup and connections."


--------------------------------------------

Nation-State
- Merriam-Webster: a form of political organization under which a relatively homogeneous people inhabits a sovereign state; especially :a state containing one as opposed to several nationalities
- UNESCO: The nation-state is an area where the cultural boundaries match up with the political boundaries. The ideal of 'nation-state' is that the state incorporates people of a single ethnic stock and cultural traditions
- Penn State University: A Nation-State is the idea of a homogenous nation governed by its own sovereign state—where each state contains one nation. This idea is almost never achieved.

Nation: The nation as we think of it today is a product of the nineteenth century. In modern times nation is recognised as 'the' political community that ensures the legitimacy of the state over its territory, and transforms the state into the state of all its citizens.

State: A State is an independent, sovereign government exercising control over a certain spatially defined and bounded area, whose borders are usually clearly defined and internationally recognized by other states.

also...
Multi-National State - India, UK, Russian, BiH
City-State - Singapore, Vatican, Monaco (Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain?)
Empire - None exist now, but over history, Empires have been more previlent
Confederation - Switzerland, Serbia and Montenegro ('06), Arab Islamic Republic ('74 - Libya and Tunisia), Confederate States of America (1865)
