What makes a country? Is it the physical boundary or the people and life of those people within that boundary?

Mankind has been fighting over lines in the sand as along as we've existed as a species. While we're busy fighting about what soil can be crossed, we too often forget that a nation is a people, a culture, a collective ideology and government. If we don't work together and treat our nations like a family home, we'll end up spending all our time stringing barbed wire and daring others to cross it.
