Best Answer

A sovereign nation is one which can make its own laws and policies and can protect its borders from invasion without having to bow to the authority of Another Country. The United States of America has long had a policy that the United States of America, and only the United States of America, is entitled to be a sovereign state. Hence they have denied countries the right to choose their governments and laws (as in Chile in the 1970s) or the right to protect itself from invasion (as in Iraq, where those who defended the country were accused of crimes according to the laws of the United States).

This depend on the definition of countries. The United Nations recognises 192 nations. However, the number of sovereign states is 193. The one sovereign state that is not a member of the United Nations is the Vatican City. To add to the confusion, there are 10 other states that do have control over their own land, but are not widely recognised as nations by members of the United Nations. These states are Abkhazia, Kosovo, Nagorno-Karabakh, Northern Cyprus, Palestine, Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Somaliland, South Ossetia, Taiwan and Transnistria. So there are either 192, 193, 202 or 203 countries. You decide.


What is meant by the term sovereign?

Sovereign states are nations that have control over their territories and self-determination politically (except those that are militarily occupied by another).
