A nation is a group of people who share a common identity, culture, language, and history, and are typically united by a sense of belonging and shared values.
A nation can be defined by geographic boundaries, but can also exist without them. Nations can be composed of multiple ethnic or racial groups, and may have their own government and institutions.
The concept of a nation is often closely tied to the idea of nationalism, which is the belief in the superiority of one’s own nation and the desire for it to be independent and self-governing. The definition of a nation can be complex and contested, and can vary depending on cultural and political contexts.
