A nation would consist of at least hundreds of thousands of people.
There is no way for me to consider hundreds of thousands of people as my tribe. I recognize and acknowledge a universal society, but I don’t agree to allowing specific groups to own me by removing other options in my life.

The idea that one government must monopolize the laws of a specific region merely results in legal monopoly. Monopolized services are poor. I don’t necessarily oppose sharia laws or other kinds of laws as long as those laws don’t try to own me by denying access to other legal systems. We need free market competition in legal systems.

Outside government laws, people have choices in legal markets. There are overlapping private laws that compete with each other in any given region or any given website.
