∙ 9y agoThe underlying concept to an independent nation is sovereignty. Sovereignty regards the ability to make laws and not receive them. Thus, the degree of a nations power within itself and abroad is based on their sovereign independence. A sovereign state in theory has unlimited powers (answerable to no one), such as taxation, standing armies, waging war, and the monopoly of violence. In actuality even independent countries are limited in power through their constitutions, international law, and supranational governance; as is the case with the European Union member states.
