You seem to be somewhat knowledgable in the area. Currently the article for "artificial states" redirects to "satellite state" -- which I feel isn't correct. I guess I am asking you if you want to write it, but if I were to write it I would be basically plagerizing you. ;-) I'll help you with the article if you want to get it started. -ben Request:

Over the last five hundred years France has made this transition quite well. What about a transition from artificial state to natural state?

I've got a new version to post now which somewhat accounts for that. The idea is to create a main model and then additional submodels to better represent the individual states as thusfar, the model is of course a simplification. Pre-states is indeed an interesting idea which would rather require one to go a few steps back from where I'm beginning. Take a look at the most recent version but it's of course all still a work in progress. Mark: Indeed a good question. I’ve got a new version to post now which somewhat accounts for that.

Nations without states primarily. Italy and Germany were once - and not long ago in historical terms - mere " geographic expressions". Kurdistan is definitely a Pre-State; so might Baluchistan, Pushtunistan, Tamil, Aceh, Chechnya. East Timor recently succeeded in " crossing over " to statehood as did Eritrea.
