A nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life and culture.[1] Nations began to constitute themselves into nation-states during the transition from feudalism to capitalism. Nations have the right to self-determination, which may consist of independence or autonomy within a larger state.[2]
