What exactly is a " State"? It's not the same as a country, or a nation, or a government. States do need a government to be recognised as a state, as well as a permanent population and territory, but it gets complicated. There are parts of the world, such as Northern Cyprus and Taiwan, that have territory and a government, but are not states.
It's an important issue, and indeed a vital one at the moment in the Middle East. Is Palestine a state? Should it be recognised as one?
This episode describes the state as a political and legal construct. It isn't a cultural or ethnic one. Most of the world's land mass is within the state system. And who knows? Could the Moon be next?
