The same as to know if you are a man or a women or a neutral. All 
this is part of everyone's trust deconstruction process regarding 
others: "why would I trust you if you do not trust me: you know this 
rule of the game, so the least you tell me the least you wish I trust 
you". You can technically call it a "trust negociation process".

Why would I trust you if I do not know which countrymen you would 
accept to die for. This means that you want to hide some of your 
basic societal clue. Westphalian States are about Nation-States (i.e. 
states embodied into a nation). Today we are in a democratic 
Society-State mood, where the State emanates from a society. However, 
that your agenda is from your King or that it is why you elected your 
President, you share a national set interests with others and I will 
trust you less if I do not know a minimum about it.

BTW, nothing prevents you from inventing yourself a country and 
creating its state. This exactly is what Google did. The real problem 
today for the States is the Google multinational e-sovereignty and 
their e-State behavior - signing their own treaties, imposing their 
own laws to the visitors of their virtual territory.

It is like the Technical Coalition praying for an ICANN/IANA 
"globalization" but being careful at not telling what they intend by 
such a globalization nor how they want to obtain it.  What is their 
true agenda? Is it 
national/multi-corporate/multi-lateral/professionnal/societal? Who 
knows? This is why my IFF is dumb.

This is worrying because an IFF is the function we mostly need to 
work on the net today.
