"Without the land there is no nation" - Sero Khanzadyan
To an extent, I agree. I don't think 'nation' can be defined as people sharing beliefs, customs, etc, as there are multicultural societies which one would often class as a 'nation'.

According to Google:
So, within 'countries', there are several 'nations' due to multiculturalism? Is North Korea a nation?
When we say nationwide, we refer to the whole country, so demonstrating how these words are blurred. They become more fused together the longer we wait - concepts like immigration have a huge effect on whether these two words can mean the same thing or not, in my opinion. Thoughts?
