Question

Explain why countries strive hard to acquire the status of a Nation-state

Answer 1

Answer:

1   A multinational state, where no one ethnic group dominates (may also be considered a multicultural state depending on the degree of cultural assimilation of various groups).

2 A city-state which is both smaller than a "nation" in the sense of "large sovereign country" and which may or may not be dominated by all or part of a single "nation" in the sense of a common ethnicity.[3][4][5]

3 An empire, which is composed of many countries (possibly non-sovereign states) and nations under a single monarch or ruling state government.

4  A confederation, a league of sovereign states, which might or might not include nation-states.

5  A federated state which may or may not be a nation-state, and which is only partially self-governing within a larger federation (for example, the state boundaries of Bosnia and Herzegovina are drawn along ethnic lines, but those of the United States are not).
