I agree with Tim's comment to some extent. I think this is one of those areas where the little insecurity makes more sense then having something that reminds me of communist Russia. "Can I see your papers?", "They do not say you have business in this area. Why are you here?" These are the sayings that come to mind when I read about national IDs.

Here's my take on it...

You wouldn't let someone on your server without a username/password or key, would you? It allows them power to play around with your stuff, and you'd like to know who's playing with your stuff.

Same thing with a country. If someone's going to your country and take advantage of all it has to offer, you'd like to keep tabs on it.
