4 mark for review
which of the following terms best describes the political entity of the republic of ireland?
a stateless nation
b multinational state
c nation-state
d autonomous region
e dependent territory

Explanation:

A nation-state is a sovereign state where the majority of the population shares a common national identity, culture, and history. The Republic of Ireland is an independent sovereign state with a largely homogeneous Irish national population and distinct national identity, fitting this definition. A stateless nation lacks its own state, a multinational state has multiple distinct national groups, an autonomous region is part of a larger state, and a dependent territory is not fully sovereign.

Answer:

C. Nation-state
