The concept of "country" is significantly wider by the concept of "state". The state is different from the country because it has its own authorities, national symbolism, currency, management center, laws.

In order for the country to become a state, it should recognize all UN members, which 193, and 2 members of the observer - the Holy See (Vatican) and Palestine.

The country is a territory that has physical and historical, cultural, geographic or cultural boundaries, which are both clearly fixed and blurred.

There are several types of countries:

  1. Historical regions.
  2. Cultural areas.
  3. Physico-geographical countries.
  4. Political (territories of independent states).

The state is the political form of the organization of the Company, which is managed by the public authority and has a management assistance to which all its inhabitants are subject.

Always independently and sovereign. But the country can be like sovereign and dependent.

Consider their differences:

Country State
Lack of power as such Availability of power system
Geographic and cultural features Political features
Maybe under the authority of other states Always sovereign and independently
Maybe the capital may be absent There is always a capital
Passport may be absent Having a passport
National currency - not always National currency - the main advantage

The country is a more extensive concept because they include all the inhabited territories of the Earth, and states have more powers, but they should receive recognition of the global community.
