Races, religions and ethnicities are also fluid concepts that change with time. They’ve never been static. Yamnaya indo-europeans moved from the Asian steppes into mainland Europe 5000 years ago (and still make up 20-50% of modern European DNA). Until then, most of the Europeans looked much more like today’s Northern Africans than today’s ideal of “whiteness”. The Roman empire went from paganism to Christianity. The dwellers of the British islands went within 700 years from Celtic rites, to worshipping Jupiter, to worshipping Odin, to worshipping Jesus. The south of Spain 1000 years ago was mostly Muslim.
If your definition of “nation” applies to “a snapshot of what a certain group of people believes and how they look like, or how citizens of a particular place should look like, and which land they are entitled to consider their own on an ideological, ethnical or religious basis”, then you’ve got the perfect recipe for conflict, genocide and forced displacements.
Coincidentally, the nations or empires that have thrived the most and have experienced longer periods of peace are those that allowed people and ideas to move freely.
The only big, beautiful border that I’d appreciate would be a 380,000 km border separating me from those who still believe that imperialism is justified by the obsolete concept of ethno-nation that was supposed to be dead after the last two world wars.
