'''Sovereign state''' is a political entity that is represented by one centralized government that has sovereignty over a geographic area. International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population, defined territory, one government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other sovereign states. It is also normally understood that a sovereign state is neither dependent on nor subjected to any other power or state.

== Definition ==
The definition of a [[sovereign state]] is often debated, with various theories put forward by different scholars and political scientists. However, the most widely accepted definition is that a sovereign state is a political entity that is represented by one centralized government that has sovereignty over a geographic area. This means that the state has the absolute authority to govern its territory and population without interference from outside sources.

== Recognition ==
Recognition of a sovereign state can come from other sovereign states, or from an international organization such as the [[United Nations]]. Recognition is often an important factor in the sovereignty of a state, as it can legitimize a state's sovereignty and can often lead to increased diplomatic relations with other states.

== Sovereignty ==
Sovereignty is the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside sources or bodies. In political theory, sovereignty is a substantive term designating supreme legitimate authority over some polity. In international law, sovereignty is the exercise of power by a state.

== Types of Sovereign States ==
There are several types of sovereign states, including [[Federation|federations]], [[Confederation|confederations]], [[Unitary state|unitary states]], and [[Federacy|federacies]]. Each type has its own unique characteristics and methods of governance.
