Nope.
Borders are fluid. You could be a citizen of one. Look at NA tribes for example; many are considered by both their citizenry and others to be nations unto themselves (the Abenaki Nation is my prime example, due to my Homer St. Francis idolation). But even people living within the borders of Abenaki are completely ignorant of it, or deny it. The same goes for any border dispute, acrimonious or not. Hell, look at Palestine and Israel. Each side claims that their imaginary sky fairy gave them the same shitty chunk of desert. The idea that maybe their gods are one and the same (which being Abrahamic in nature they anthropologically are), and wanted them to I dunno, coexist and make shit prosper TOGETHER, never enters the equation. I am neither pro-Israel or pro-Palestine, I just want them to share their fucking toys and shut up.
Time to bust out the Woody Guthrie.
