Answer to Question 1
The state is an abstraction. In contrast, a government is a concrete organization that has the authority to act on behalf of a state, and the set of people who have the right to make decisions that affect everyone in a state. The state is like an image or idea of a territory and the practices, institutions, and traditions of the people within that territory. For this reason, many countries separate the head of state from the head of government. In Japan, the head of state is Emperor Akihito, who publicly personifies and represents the spirit of the national community; he also upholds that community's legitimacy. In contrast, the prime minister of Japan is the chief executive officer of the government administration.
Answer to Question 2

More important, they do not possess sovereignty, and they do not claim a monopoly on the legitimate use of force over their own people. Without a state, nations lack political autonomy.
