Answer to Question 1

Answer: States or countries are independent political units that claim exclusive jurisdiction over defined territories and over all of the people and activities within them. The governments are not always able to exercise this jurisdiction completely, but states can encourage or even force patterns of human activities to conform to the political map. A state is a territory on a map, but a nation is a people who share a culture and who want to be ruled separately from other peoples. A nation is defined by the people themselves. States rule over everyone in their territory. Therefore, the perfect state was idealized as a nation-state, a state ruling over a territory that contains all the people who are culturally joined as a nation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The manner in which states use political, military, and economic means to exercise control and project their power.
