Nation. Natal. Innate. These words all share the same etymology that refers to people of a common birth/race. All of which etymologically source from the Proto-Indo-European word 'gene'.
The innate characteristics of an “ethnos” and/or nation were first defined by Herodotus (484-425 BC) as biological kinship, language, shared culture and customs:
ὁμόαιμον, homόaimon, “of the same blood”.
ὁμόγλωσσον, homoglōsson, “speaking the same language”.
ὁμότροπον, homόtropon, “of the same habits”.
Nation means "our race".
A nation/ethnos/race is explicitly a biologically related group of people who speak the same language, share most habits, and often (but not always) inhabit the same territory.
A nation is not a state nor a country. A state is a collective governing body, while a country is the territory controlled by the state.
A nation-state is a state (and country) that is governance apparatus controlled (and occupied) exclusively by one nation.
Every Hellenic state was a nation-state in the manner that only Hellenics were allowed to be citizens and locals. Athenians in Athens, Macedonians in Macedonia, Spartans in Sparta etc. The nation-state idea is as old as race.
In the case of Australia. Being of the European species, and thus "White", is an exclusive prerequisite to being Australian.
Australian is an ethnic identity - a nation, one that is fundamentally and primarily part of the British race and selectively inclusive to absolute minorities of extra-Europeans.
This shit is not complicated. It's very simple and has naturally existed for millennia if not millions of years.
