States far less durable than our own survived the Black Death, the 30 year's war, Mongol invasions, and more. We're talking 75%+ people in a country dying horribly and everything getting burned down. But they kept going. If medieval dynastic "states" could survive hammerblows like that, modern ones can survive far more.

Cease to Hope posted:no they absolutely did not. their replacements claimed to be their successors, but each of those things destroyed the order that proceeded them So continuation of laws, forms of government, tax structures, even keeping the same leaders doesn't count as a state surviving? I didn't say everything was wonderful and it was business as usual, but society survived in highly recognizable fashion despite horribly traumatic events.
