A territory is a region that is governed by a specific authority but does not have the full status of a state, often lacking representation in the national legislature. A state is a political entity with defined boundaries, a permanent population, and a government that exercises sovereignty over its territory. A Commonwealth typically refers to a political community founded for the common good, often used in the context of states that share a historical connection, such as the Commonwealth of Nations, which unites former territories of the British Empire. In some contexts, like the U.S., a Commonwealth refers to a type of state that operates similarly to others but may have unique legal frameworks.
