That is how we make disciples of all nations . It ends only with all nations. Many people today are seeking to fulfill the Great Commission by sending themselves instead of being sent by the Church and see their objective as reaching only individuals and not nations. While it is true that individuals are involved, we need to keep our perspective that our Lord's commission was to His Church to reach all nations. God is interested in peoples or nations.
Nations are to be discipled.
Nations are the ultimate objective of the Great Commission. To do this, the Church must go to them. He also rules the Church by giving her commandments to follow in the ecclesiastical realm. Likewise, Christ gives commandments to nations for the ordering of their civil lives. The point of all of this is that the nations are the ultimate scope of the Great Commission.
