When discussing the concept of nation, there are two nuances of the
             word that come to mind. The first relates to politics and geography and
             explains the concept as a land separated by boundaries. The second is a
             much larger concept and describes more a people than a country. The second
             concept somewhat embraces the first and cover a larger number of people.
             Let's just briefly exemplify this and move on to refer to some of the
             textbooks and how they divide the concepts. If we are to consider the
             French nation, the geographical concept of nation strictly delimitates the
             French nation as belonging to the French state, that is, conscribed by the
             boundaries that have been traced with time and that are identified with the
             French territory. However, the French nation as seen in the second
             concept, is much larger: it takes into account the people of French
             nationality from Switzerland, from Belgium, those working at the science
             centers in Antarctica or those in diplomatic missions over the world.
             Let's have a more analytical look at the two concepts and for this,
             we can refer to Chapter 7, where a Siam geography lesson is presented. The
             lesson is rather simple, as it describes a discussion between an uncle and
             his two nephews, however, the definition of the nation that is revealed is
             quite profound. As the uncle puts it here, "continents are divided into
             nations. Many nations are all different. China is one big country; Siam
             is a small one". Just as the oceans and the continents, the nation is a
             geographical element that can form a description of the Earth. In fact, it
             is the smallest undividable element of the Earth's geography. This is a
             first definition that we receive for a nation.
             Just as the oceans and continents that are circumscribed by the
             boundaries of each other a nation is defined as such through its
             boundaries. Boundaries make a country like ...
