Question

For EACH of these concepts, name a specific example from Region A, AND a specific example from Region B on the map above. (four total examples)

Answer 1

The concepts will consist of the words "nation" and "state" (Political geography defined)

Answer 2

NATION: A group of people who thinks of themselves as sharing a language, religion, history, or ethnicity. Without any defined government or borders.

STATE: The territory is politically organized, populated permanently, administered by a government and recognised internationally.

NATION STATE: Area in which both nations and states are politically organized.

Answer 3

So a nation-state would be a nation AND a state?

Answer 4

The nation state is a political unit where the state and nation are congruent. Since a country does not have to be dominated by a particular ethnic group, it's a more precise term than "country".

Answer 5

Understood
so for the examples that I need to give, would southern Africa be considered a nation?

Answer 6

That is a good example. South Africa is its own country/nation.

Answer 7

Would northern Africa also be considered a nation?

Answer 8

No. That is a region. A region is just an area where certain countries are.

Answer 9

If my geography is correct, I think I see Islam. That'd be a state right?

Answer 10

No. That is a religion/faith-based group.

Answer 11

A "Nation-State" is a political rule, based on its NATION and STATE.
Or
A nation state is a political unit based on where the NATION and STATE are consistent.

Answer 12

An example of a state is like Vatican City. It is sorta a country, but it is mainly just surrounded by Italy.

Answer 13

I think I get it now. Thank you people :]
