This article deals with nations, defined as communities invested in the state. A society can be relatively liberal-communitarian if the state fosters rather than undermines communal bonds; it undergirds rather than seeks to curtail the observation of rights; it looks to minimise its role, relying more on activating communal processes, though it may increase its role in a crisis; and communities and their members trust the government and do not view it as violating their liberties.
