I was wondering what is the purpose of a nation? What is the function of a nation in the world and to it's people. There are a lot of ideological answers to this, but I thought that the nations primary purpose seems to be making money. In that way it's like a factory.
In the factory, there are many elements- from pure work related to morale related. But all parts function to improve the efficiency of the factory.
The Factory is governed by an administration, but the administration is not the most important part. Sales is the most important part. Sales and acquisitions. How do we get what we need and how do we sell what we have. The net effect is to come out with a profit.
The Factory is among many other factories. Some great and some small. Some work together and some are in opposition. Each factory tries to be the top factory. The people within the factory function to make that so.
It may seem like the greater the profit of the overall factory, the greater living conditions of the average worker. But since profit is the motive, some factories do not function this way. All profit is kept and as little money as possible is given to the actual workers who- living in the factory- have no option but to work under the factories conditions or go to another factory.
Overall, I found the nations function like factories- the smoke stack always belching, money, people, and resources always moving in and out. Their is no higher principle it seems. No higher purpose behind a nation.
Does anybody think like that or have a definition of their own?
