I don't know if Nation-State is really accurate. Don't Nation-States actually produce something of their own, rather than leeching off the resources of everyone else?

The entire first world is still leeching off the resources of everyone else, that didn’t stop when formal colonialism did.

did the east india company produce anything or did they just sell and ship what was made in indian factories? amazon is the new colonial trade co.

I mean, maybe they produce things in the sense any corporation does; people do it and they take credit.
