Multinational state
State comprising multiple nations
State comprising multiple nations
A multinational state or a multinational union is a sovereign entity that comprises two or more nations or states. This contrasts with a nation-state, where a single nation accounts for the bulk of the population. Depending on the definition of "nation" (which touches on ethnicity, language, and political identity), a multinational state is usually multicultural or multilingual, and is geographically composed of more than one country, such as the countries of the United Kingdom. Historical multinational states that have since split into multiple states include the Ottoman Empire, British India, Qing China, Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, the United Arab Republic, and Austria-Hungary (a dual monarchy of two multinational states). Some analysts have described the European Union as a multinational state or potentially one.
