A sovereign state is a name for a country where the sovereignty, or supreme ruling power, is universally recognised. The United Nations member states must be sovereign states.[1] States exist that have disputed sovereignty recognised by a limited group of countries, or have limited but not full international recognition. Many countries or nations are not classed as sovereign states; if they are of disputed government or boundaries, they may be called quasi-states.
