Haven't all of those places ceased to be ruled by those independent entities and aren't they now ruled by the State?
Discussion
There are people who believes themselves to be organized into States which claim authority in those places, yes.
It took hundreds of years for the modern conception of the State to develop, and as we have seen (in the USSR and elsewhere) the modern total State is itself unstable.
Do you believe that the English were especially godless and insolent, and that this gave rise to the modern English State? Is there any evidence of this?
I can't tell you exactly how the modern State evolved in England, except to say that Parliament grew more powerful at the expense of the monarchy, and mass democracy spread, but apparently the intermediating institutions of churches, families, guilds, and other voluntary associations seem to have declined in influence. They moved away from the Patriarcha of Robert Filmer and towards the Leviathan of Thomas Hobbes. Is that an increase in godlessness and insolence? It does seem to be a shift away from natural/divine law towards artificial/man-made law.
