(according to โinternational lawโ, a sovereign state is, in โinternational law,โ a โnonphysical juridical entity that is represented by one โcentralized governmentโ that has โsovereigntyโ over a โgeographic areaโ)
(โyou call that a โnationโ???โ)
(โinternational lawโ defines โsovereign statesโ as having a โpermanent populationโ, โdefined territoryโ, โ1 governmentโ, and the capacity to โenter into relationsโ with other โsovereign statesโ)
โlet us now โraise a toast to our very own โnational sex patrolโโฆโ
(it is also โnormally understoodโ that a โsovereign stateโ is neither โdependent onโ nor โsubjected toโ any other โpowerโ or โstateโ)
(and what do we make of their โcollective stanceโ on โisraelโ?โ)
(the โexistenceโ or โdisappearanceโ of a โstateโ is a โquestionโ of โfactโ)
(while according to the โdeclarative theory of statehoodโ, a โsovereign stateโ can exist without being โrecognizedโ by other โsovereign statesโ, โunrecognized statesโ will often find it hard to exercise full โtreaty-making powersโ and engage in diplomatic relations with other โsovereign statesโ)
