The minute you really stop discriminating between people on the man-made bases of divisions, anybody and everybody becomes just a human being, and becomes yours.
But national boundaries still have relevance, because there is enormous disparity in the economy of different regions.
If state boundaries are removed today, the nations with unlimited wealth, plundered from the world, will take away all the wealth to their parts of the world, and leave the people in the other parts of the world penniless. So until the development and economies of all the regions start to match a bit, the state boundaries should remain.
Having national boundaries will certainly mean nationalism in some kind or form, but it should never mean vulgar nationalism. And vulgar nationalism should have no place in human interactions and human relations.
As far as living or not living on the soil of your country is concerned, it is a matter of choice. In today's times of global economy it hardly matters where a national of a country is staying and working. You can serve your nation from abroad in endless number of ways, and can loot or humiliate your nation while living very much on its soil. What matters is your love for your country and for the world at large.
