I was going to say you can also look at a country like this, with roads as veins, military as white blood cells, scientists/universities for brains, etc.
But my theory falls apart with the reproduction system. We don't really reproduce other 'countries'. While with ant colonies, a single entity produces all the "cells", and also all the "embryos" to start their own ant colonies.
In that sense an ant colony uses asexual reproduction if looked at as a whole.

Thanks for the new insights! :)
