A country is a distinct territorial body or political entity, typically possessing sovereignty, which grants it supreme and independent authority over its territory. This includes the power to govern its own affairs without external interference, though sovereignty may be limited by international treaties, alliances, or global organizations. The people of a country often share a sense of national identity, based on shared history, culture, language, or ethnicity, though this is not always uniform, especially in multicultural nations.
