"nation-state" is not just a fancy infosec word for country, and there's some debate as to whether the USA constitutes an actual nation state, rather than a state.

Now introducing, TypeLang! A strictly typed spoken language with core emotional concepts built into the standard library and immutablity as default. Easily transpiled into dozens of different languages, such as English, Japanese, JavaScript, and Smooth Jazz.

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto not exactly what you are looking for, but :)

Also French has an official body that authorizes words.

We really need SI units for emotions. Something that can be based on reproducible observations.

nation-state" is not just a fancy infosec word for country,

This is pedantic and adds no value. In what sense could the precise definition of "nation state" matter? in this context everyone understands the phrase in exactly the way it's meant -- a resourceful national government.

Some people can’t stop fighting “blasphemy,” even if they aren’t in a classic religion.

The USA is absolutely a nation state. Cocal-cola, mcdonalds, Christmas, enlgish, etc. are well dispersed throughout the entire population. We have a uniform culture, although not as uniform as much smaller countries, but uniform nonetheless.

Cultural dominance isn’t an argument against national cohesion.

Arguably the "nation" of the USA extends into England, Australia, Israel and a few other places which have taken a lot of the culture.

> A nation state is a state in which a great majority shares the same culture and is conscious of it. It has been described as a political unit where the state and nation are congruent. It is a more precise concept than "country", since a country does not need to have a predominant ethnic group. [1]

Interesting.
