Answer - B - No. The United Kingdom (Great Britain) cannot be defined as a nation-state.

Key Takeaway: The nation-state is a state that derives its political power from serving as a self-governing entity for a nation. The “state” is the united political and geopolitical entity; and the “nation” is a united cultural and/or ethnic entity. The United Kingdom cannot be classified as a nation-state due to internal and ongoing cultural differences between Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England.
