The word country adopted by Castilian derives from the French "pays" pronounced / pei / and which has the same meaning. A country is that politically independent territory or nation that has its own government together with a set of laws, administration, population and security forces; In other words, it is that geographic area made up of a certain number of people and certain natural resources, and that is often characterized by its political, social and cultural elements, which differentiate them from others. Then it can be said that the meaning of country includes synonyms such as nation, state, region, province or territory, place etc. in the same way, a state can be formed by different nations or countries, as in the case of Spain with Catalonia and the Basque Country, to mention an example.
The sense of country is linked, as already said, with the idea of nation or state, since the nation is related to the country because it is the feeling of belonging and identical that a certain group of people has; and the state is the political representation of a country, that is, the higher entity to which each of the inhabitants of that country must respond in a peaceful and voluntary manner.
Each country is usually divided by a series of imaginary lines, which indicate its territory, these lines are also called borders, whose function is to demarcate or delimit the territory that each nation or state owns. It is important to mention that over time there have been many problems of confrontations between various countries around the world due to these territorial limits, since they want to expand their territories at all costs, taking territory from their neighboring nations.
On the other hand, it is called a country, the fabric, paper or leather that covers a part of the fan, specifically in the upper part of it.
