This research paper is all about the end of the state as modern state system lacks sovereignty, independent government, well-defined territory and participant population. It explains that communication revolution, international financial institutions (IFIs), advertisements, aggressive marketing and above all multinational corporations (MNCs) have made an end of the traditional form of the state that used to be based on four basic elements, Sovereignty, Government, Territory, and Population. The MNCs may be called as Multinational Governments (MNGs) or Multinational States (MNS) owing to their economic power that dictates the modern states. Besides that weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and missiles race in different parts of the world have diminished the very concept of state or its well-defined boundaries. The modern state has to redefine its character otherwise MNGs are going to take it under its sway with all its technological sophistications and scientific advancements. The hypothesis of this research paper is that modern state does not comply with its definition. Modern state system lacks sovereignty and government. Now a single individual or a group of individuals without having any territory can claim their status equal to that of the state.
