What does sovereignty mean?

Sovereignty is the most basic power.

National sovereignty is the most basic power of a country.

In fact, it is not a sovereign country, but mainly diplomatic rights. A non-sovereign country is actually a subordinate country of another country. If a country can't decide whether it is allied, at war, merged with another country or has no control over its territory, it means that it is not a sovereign country. For example, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea was a vassal state of China. North Korea at that time was a country without sovereignty. Ming Chengzu asked him to send troops to fight Manchu, so he had to cooperate with them. Japan wants to destroy North Korea and discuss its sovereignty. The Japanese are not talking to korean king, but to the Ming Dynasty.

A sovereign state has the right to control its own territory and its own diplomacy. You can form alliances, merge and fight with other countries at will.

Without sovereignty, it is not a country. It can only be called a region.

There are 224 countries and regions in the world, including country 193 and region 3 1.

The quasi-sovereign countries include the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, Cook Islands and Niue. They only enjoy a high degree of autonomy and have no sovereignty.
