Greater nation state

Greater nation state

A greater nation state is a either a country or a proposed country which is territorially designed to include as many members of the dominant nationality as possible within its borders. Irredentist claims are normally involved and sometimes territorial expansionism is endorsed by proponents of a greater nation state. These states may annex areas which have majority populations of other nationalities if they contain even some members of the greater nation state.
