Territory Area of fixed boundaries Things that change fixed boundaries: - war - negotiations - land purchase

Sovereignty The key characteristic of a state is sovereignty. The state has supreme and absolute authority in its boundaries. It has complete independence and powers to make laws and foreign policy and determine its course of action. In theory, no state has the right to interfere with the internal affairs of another state.

Government Government is the institution through which the state is able to perform all of its essential functions.
