In addition to Paul C's point, the very concept of imperialist *nation* is
problematic in itself because it really is an ideological entity unlike a
territorial state. Moreover, throughout history you'll find several
imperialist 'non-nations'. It is only sensible to speak of imperialist
states, and presumably also a corresponding economy even if we have not
agreed about its characteristics and properties.
