Nation sans ÉtatLes nations sans État sont des communautés humaines qui, quoique possédant des caractéristiques culturelles ou identitaires associées habituellement à une nation, ne disposent pas d'un État propre. Dans beaucoup de cas, elles ne sont pas reconnues officiellement comme des communautés différentes. Les nations sans État sont donc comprises dans des États où la nation prédominante est différente, ou réparties entre des divers États. Il faut ajouter à cela que le concept même de nation est arbitraire et dépendra de l'émetteur même de la définition.
