Countries Vocabulary in English – With Pictures Pronunciations and Games

⬤ What are the countries in English?

Some countries are independent which means they are governing themselves and have sovereignty over their country.

• The word “territory” means an area of land that a state or a ruler has.
• A nation refers to the people with common language, culture and history living in the same country or territory.
