The Naion-State System

This document defines the key characteristics of a state as having a defined territory, permanent population, central government, recognition by other states, and a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. It also defines a nation as existing within a state and sharing a common language, culture, or religion, which can potentially cause tensions if the state does not recognize or extend rights to the nation's distinct identity.
