A state that encompasses the territory inhabited by a self-identified [[nation]], or culturally similar people. Compare: [[Nation state]]
A nation is a group of people who believe that they share a common history, language, ethnicity and culture. These may be real or imagined. This is often used interchangeably with the term '[[state]]', though strictly speaking this is inaccurate. However, where the geographical limits of the nation and the state are the same the term [[nation state]] may be applied.
