Stateless Nations

Stateless nations are groups of people who share a common identity, culture, language, or ethnicity but do not have their own independent government or sovereign state. These nations often seek greater autonomy or recognition within existing countries. Examples include the Kurds, Basques, and Palestinians. Stateless nations may experience challenges related to their rights, cultural preservation, and political representation, as they do not have the official status that comes with being a recognized state. Their struggles are often linked to issues of self-determination and national identity in a world organized largely by recognized sovereign states.
