The states (countries) that make up today's political world share four essential features: population, territory, sovereignty, and government. Population has a direct effect on the stability and political organization of the state. A state must have established boundaries but the location or shape of those boundaries is often a conflict with other states. Political sovereignty means that the state has supreme and absolute authority within its boundaries. There must be some form of government to keep order and provide services.
