Nation-State Actors

Nation-state actors are governments or official entities that represent a specific country. They have defined borders, a permanent population, and significant authority to create and enforce laws within their territory. These actors engage in various activities, including diplomacy, trade, and military operations, to protect their national interests, maintain sovereignty, and interact with other countries. Unlike non-state actors, such as organizations or individuals, nation-state actors are recognized in international law and diplomacy, making them central players on the global stage.
