( Nation)
A nation is a group of people who share culture, ethnic origin and language, often possessing or seeking its own independent government.[1] The development and conceptualization of a nation is closely related to the development of modern industrial states and nationalist movements in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,[2] although nationalists would trace nations into the past along uninterrupted lines of historical narrative. Though the idea of nationality and race are often connected, the two are separate concepts, race dealing more with genotypic and phenotypic similarity and clustering, and nationality with the sense of belonging to a culture. A nation is different from a country in that a country is the land that belongs to a nation, and from a state in that a state is the government of the nation and country. In the strict sense, terms such as "nation," "ethnos," and "people" (as in "the Danish people") denote a group of human beings. The concepts of nation and nationality have much in common with ethnic group and ethnicity, but have a more political connotation, since they imply the possibility of a nation-state. Country denominates a geographical territory,[citation needed] whereas state expresses a legitimized administrative and decision-making institution. Confusingly, the terms national and international are used as technical terms applying to states. International law, for instance, applies to relations between states, and occasionally between states on the one side, and individuals or legal persons on the other. Likewise, the United Nations represent sovereign states, while nations are free, per se, are not admitted.[4] The English word "nation" comes from the French word "nation" (itself derived from the Latin term natio) (natio, stem nation-), meaning[5][6]
