Some people actually argue that if you took every single Australian out of Australia and replaced them with 27 million Indians, and those Indians fully assimilated, then Australia would still be Australia.
They're wrong. You wouldnโt have Australia anymore. Youโd have southern India with kangaroos.
Nations arenโt made by culture alone. Theyโre shaped by the people, their history, temperament, average traits, and way of seeing the world. Swap the people (like what is slowly happening to Australians now with low birthrates and immigration) and you swap the soul of the nation, even if everyone speaks the same, waves the flag, and follows the rules.
Thatโs why the argument ends there.
