What is Country, State and Nation. I need to explain this basic concepts here as I taught that a democracy is based on division of powers: Executive, Legislative and Judiciary. Take the US. The Country is the physical territory of the US: Grand Canyon, Manhattan Island, infrastructure build since its inception; harbors canals, airports, hydropower dams. The coast surrounding the country. The US State, is the political body that runs the country and the nation. The Congress and Senate. The Constitution, the Armed Forced, the postal stamps. The legal system. All those are the apparatus of the United States. The US Nation, is the people of the US. Ralf Waldo Emerson, Mark Twain, Louis Armstrong, Hemingway, Will Rogers, Mohamad Ali. Their culture, Hollywood, Rock n´ Roll, Jazz, their language, the schools... Let's look to the demonization. The US demonizes Iran. Iran demonizes US. The US and Iranian states persuade their respective nation that the other entity is a demon. The Iranian state use religious fervor as demonization tool. The US state use just persuasion power.
