Canada is an imaginary nation. You can't see the American culture because it's the water you fishes are swimming in. Fishes don't know that they're swimming in.

Canadians are merely keked Americans living outside the American Nation-State

In fact it does. That understanding of the process of culture prohibits applying the concept to intangible human communities such as nation-states.

What is this? If a group of people can enforce laws and protect their clay it most definitely isn't something that is imaginary if it was I'd be able to walk to Canada and just take it. Sure it was imagined at some point doesn't make it an imaginary thing.

What is a nation other than a complex idea; a commonly held set of ideals, rules, and social norms?
Does the existence of tangible coercive forces that call themselves 'state' change the fact that 'state' is an idea?

You can't see and touch a nation though. The polity is not the geographic space it exerts dominance over and it is certainly not inevitable.
