POLICIDE — [Noun] The intentional, systematic destruction of a nation or state as a political entity. Coined from the Ancient Greek πόλις (pólis, "city; state") and the suffix -cide (from Latin -cida, "killer," and -cidium, "act of killing"). Unlike "genocide" (which targets a people for who they *are*) or "politicide" (which can denote the elimination of a political class), policide targets what a people have *built*: the annulment of civic memory, the dissolution of law, the erasure of the polity itself. It is the archive set ablaze, the map redrawn into oblivion, the public square silenced until even the ghosts forget their petitions—a violence that un-invents a shared world, leaving a people not just homeless, but map-less.
