What have been the forces, motivation, rationales for tribally segmented societies to integrate into a larger, homogenous social network that led to the creation of nation-states?

Is the tribally-based cultural narrative of Afghanistan an unassailable icon? How does an archaic social network de-construct a "gun culture" from it's narrative without emasculating itself?

A couple of thoughts/questions.
