Overview

A nation is a type of social organization where a collective identity has emerged from a combination of shared features, such as language, history, ethnicity, culture, territory, or society. Nations can be constructed around ethnicity or bound by political constitutions, and are generally more overtly political than ethnic groups. The concept of a nation has been explored by scholars like Benedict Anderson and Anthony D. Smith, who define nations as imagined political communities and cultural-political communities, respectively.
