This. Is. A. Myth.

The phrase describes the political concept of a
nation-state, which emerged in Europe after the decline of feudalism. While it represents an ideal where a state's political boundaries align with a unified cultural group, it is a contested term and not an accurate description of "most" countries today.
What is a nation-state?

A nation is a group of people who share common characteristics like language, culture, religion, or history.
A state is a political entity with a defined territory, a government, and sovereignty.
A nation-state is a sovereign state in which most citizens share a common national identity.

It's never perfect, the idea that there's perfection to it is odd.
