Countries and borders are an arbitrary concept created during the peace treaty of Westphalia.

Those relics belong to dead people.

Attributing modern concepts of borders to Westphalia is a Eurocentric worldview. What, you don't think they had the concept of statehood and sovereignty in Asia for at least a few thousand years prior to this?
