What of the nation state?

[Rhyfelwyr]

Global Papist plot?

Oh come on I managed to resist, gimme a break!

Wrong imagery.

United Global Federation yes, akin to USA on Mass Scale. Middle Ages? Completely different. Chalk and Cheese.

I'm not so sure. I think this may be your idealism getting the better of you here. My point is that while the nation state might be on the decline, this doesn't appear to be due to the centralisation to a more global level that you might expect.

A lot of actors now cross state borders, such as big business etc, and this fact appears to reduce the sovereignty of any state.

The nation states are increasingly interconnected, but we are not seeing a straightforward path of centralisation. Instead of all the power going from London to Brussels, instead there will be new, small power centres at Edinburgh, Cardiff, wherever etc.
