From the Paper:

" What do we mean by "a nation," and what do we mean by nationalism? On the simplest level, we use "nation" as a synonym for a sovereign state. When we speak of the nations of the world, we mean its states; they are entities that are members of the United Nations, or that could be if they applied for admission and were admitted. Britain and Brazil are nations; Wales and the Kurds are not. People in the United States are perhaps more prone to use "nation" in this sense than others, because "state" has such as strong popular connotation of the states of the Union. "
