Just what is a 'country' anyway?

Presuming that you live in one, have you considered what one actually is?
What is this thing that invokes such emotion?
Why are we so bothered?
Isn’t such a thing just ‘artificial’?
Do you have a need to reside in such a construct in this day and age?
There doesn’t seem to be much ‘uniformity’ about them (Lots of different types in each of them), so why bother to have them?
Why can’t we live wherever we want to? All kinds , everywhere. (Sort of thing?)
