Explanation:
While the terms country, state, sovereign state, nation, and nation-state are often used interchangeably, there is a difference. Simply put:
1)A state is a territory with its own institutions and populations.
2)A sovereign state is a state with its own institutions and populations that has a permanent population, territory, and government. It must also have the right and capacity to make treaties and other agreements with other states.
3)A nation is a large group of people who inhabit a specific territory and are connected by history, culture, or another commonality.
4)A nation-state is a cultural group (a nation) that is also a state (and may, in addition, be a sovereign state).
The word country can be used to mean the same thing as state, sovereign state, or nation-state. It can also be used in a less political manner to refer to a region or cultural area that has no governmental status. Examples include Wine Country (the grape-growing area of northern California) and Coal Country (the coal-mining region of Pennsylvania).
