When was Belgium established as a nation state?
Nation state
Pakistan, even being an ethnically diverse country and officially a federation, is regarded as a nation state[58] due to its ideological basis on which it was given independence from British India as a separate nation rather than as part of a unified India. Different ethnic groups in Pakistan are strongly bonded by their common Muslim identity, common cultural and social values, common historical heritage, a national lingua franca (Urdu) and joint political, strategic and economic interests.[58][59]
