Today in human geo class we took notes on countries, States, and nations. A country is an identifiable land area. A nation is a population (group of people larger than a single tribe or community,which may share a common language, institutions, religions, and/or historical experience) with a common culture, and shared identity. A State is population under a single government; can be synonymous with "country". An independent State has a space or territory which has internationally recognized boundaries.
