Actually they're people. Nations aren't autonomous entities that transcend the collective experiences of their peoples. There are pretty substantial differences in the historical trajectories of say post-colonial India vs. post-colonial Palestine that might somehow have profound effects on the psyche of their respective peoples. And the list of countries who are "thriving" in the post-colonial era tends to get pretty small when you include the plights of their indigenous peoples.
