Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

What defines a nation a "country"?
What defines a nation, or territory, a "country"? Keep in mind, there technically aren't any right and wrong answers, because of no universal definition of a "country".
In my honest opinion, I define a nation a country if it has its own government, like that of Taiwan (Republic of China), which leads to its own legislation and policies.
What's your take?

Re: What defines a nation a "country"?
Doesn't nation have its own concept separate from country, being a group united by something ideological like language, culture, religion etc.? Romani people can be considered to be an example of a "nation without a country".
A country is a much more straighforward concept. A grouping of people under a common government.
