Plurinational state

A plurinational state is a country that recognizes and respects the existence of multiple nations or distinct cultural groups within its borders. Instead of treating the entire country as a single, uniform nation, it acknowledges the unique identities, languages, traditions, and governance needs of these different groups. This approach promotes cultural diversity, self-determination, and political inclusion, allowing each group to maintain certain rights and practices while living together within a shared political framework. Examples include countries like Bolivia and Ecuador, which have constitutional arrangements recognizing multiple nations within their borders.
