Answer:
a state is "a. an organized political community under one government; a commonwealth; a nation. b. such a community forming part of a federal republic, esp. the United States of America".
A state is a polity under a system of governance with a monopoly on force. There is no undisputed definition of a state. A widely used definition from the German sociologist Max Weber is that a "state" is a polity that maintains a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence, although other definitions are not uncommon.
