Context: The development of states—large-scale, populous, politically centralized, and socially stratified polities/societies governed by powerful rulers—marks one of the major milestones in the evolution of human societies.  Archaeologists often distinguish between primary (or pristine) states and secondary states.  Primary states evolved independently through largely internal developmental processes rather than through the influence of any other pre-existing state.  The earliest known primary states appeared in Mesopotamia c. 3700 BC, in Egypt c. 3300 BC, in the Indus Valley c. 2500 BC, India c. 1700 BC, and in China c. 1600 BC.  As they interacted with their less developed neighbors through trade, warfare, migration, and more generalized ideological influences, the primary states directly or indirectly fostered the emergence of secondary states in surrounding areas, for example, the Hittites in Anatolia, the Minoan and Mycenaean states of the Aegean, or the Nubian kingdoms in the Sudan.  According to Professor Gil Stein of the University of Chicago Oriental Institute, "The excavations and archaeological surveys of the last few decades have vastly increased both the quantity and quality of what we know about ancient states and urbanism.  Archaeologists have broadened the scope of their research beyond the traditional focus on rulers and urban elites.  Current research now aims at understanding the role of urban commoners, craft specialists, and village-based farmers in the overall organization of ancient states and societies.  Given the immense geographical scope encompassed by the term 'the Ancient World'".  The notion of a sovereign state arises in the 16th century with the development of modern diplomacy. For earlier times, the term "sovereign state" is an anachronism.  What corresponded to sovereign states in the medieval and ancient period were monarchs ruling By the Grace of God, de facto feudal or imperial autocrats, or de facto independent nations or tribal confederations.  This is a list of sovereign states that existed between 600 BC and 501 BC. Finland ( ; Finnish: "Suomi" ] ; Swedish: "Finland" ] ), officially the Republic of Finland, is a sovereign state in Northern Europe.  The country has land borders with Sweden to the northwest, Norway to the north, and Russia to the east.  Estonia is south of the country across the Gulf of Finland.  Finland is a Nordic country situated in the geographical region of Fennoscandia, which also includes Scandinavia.  Finland's population is 5.5 million (2016), and the majority of the population is concentrated in the southern region.  88.7% of the population is Finnish and speaks Finnish, a Uralic language unrelated to the Scandinavian languages; the second major group are the Finland-Swedes (5.3%).  It is the eighth largest country in Europe and the most sparsely populated country in the European Union.  Finland is a parliamentary republic with a central government based in the capital Helsinki, local governments in 311 municipalities, and an autonomous region, the Åland Islands.  Over 1.4 million people live in the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area, which produces a third of the country's GDP.

Micronations, sometimes also referred to as "model countries" and "new country projects", are small, self-proclaimed entities that claim to be independent sovereign states but which are not acknowledged as such by any recognised sovereign state, or by any supranational organization.  They should not be confused with microstates, which are recognised independent states of a small size, nor should they be confused with unrecognised states, which may have legitimate claim to sovereign state status. A sovereign state is, in international law, a nonphysical juridical entity that is represented by one centralized government that has sovereignty over a geographic area.  International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population, defined territory, one government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other sovereign states.  It is also normally understood that a sovereign state is neither dependent on nor subjected to any other power or state.

He has also played with Popeda and Snakegod. Sovereign immunity, or crown immunity, is a legal doctrine by which the sovereign or state cannot commit a legal wrong and is immune from civil suit or criminal prosecution.  It is a principle of international law which exempts a sovereign state from the jurisdiction of foreign national courts.  Sovereign immunity is based on the concept of sovereignty in the sense that a sovereign may not be subjected without its approval to the jurisdiction of another sovereign.  As Lord Atkin observed,
