How many people have to live in a territory for it to become a state?

There is, theoretically, no lower limit of people for a territory to become a state. In Australia, the Northern Territory could become a state, and it would be a fairly straightforward matter. Australia's constitution of 1901 did (and does) allow for the admission of new states into Australia. Section 121 of the constitution states that all that is required for a new state (or, in this case, for a territory to be declared a state) is for the Federal Parliament to agree. This even means that the Parliament could admit the Northern Territory as a state whether or not the NT agreed to it.


What is a medieval country name?

Medieval countries that still exist include England, Scotland, Portugal, France, Denmark and others. Countries that have become parts of something else include Navarre, Andorra, Leon, Castile, the Republic of Venice, and others. Countries that have gone out of existence and had territory now included in a number of other countries include the Carolingian Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Holy Roman Empire. I can think of one country that existed in the Middle Ages, went out of existence, and now exists again, which is Poland.
