Nations

A nation is a large group of people who typically share a common identity, language, culture, history, or ethnic origin. Nations often occupy a specific geographic area and may have their own government. While a nation can exist without political sovereignty (like Scotland), the term is frequently used interchangeably with a country, which is a defined political entity with borders and governance (like France). Nations can reflect shared values and aspirations, forming a sense of belonging among their members, influencing social cohesion and national pride.
