Abstract

Since the conclusion of the Peace of Westphalia, in the political literature, three essential indicators of "country", "nation" and "state" have emerged in the definition of "nation-state"; The pillars from which all existing systems originate and the basis of political identifications in the world today are realized based on it. But with the spread of technological advances, which is referred to as the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" and is taking steps to blur the border between the physical and cyber worlds, practically all three indicators are facing serious risks. Now the existing research with the descriptive-analytical method and library method aims to introduce the various dimensions of these developments, first enumerate the risks related to the mentioned indicators, and then answer the question of what will be the fate of the nation-state in this era? Based on the results of this research, it is predicted that due to the development of "digital economy","2D and 3D Internet" and " Office automation”, the current form of the accepted indicators of the nation-state will become unjustified, especially from the perspective of their physical appearance. The future of the realization of "cyber governments" is based on the " Hybrid world"(physical-cyber).
