In political science, a "nation" refers to a group of people who feel bound into a single body by shared culture, values, folkways, religion and/or language.  A "state" just refers to a patch of land with a sovereign government.  States often coincide with nations (and are called "nation-states," but not always.  States that overlap multiple nations tend to have civil wars; states that exclude parts of a nation tend to have wars with the neighboring state(s) that contain the rest of the nation.

# Strictly speaking, any real or hypothetical state organized along the principles of socialism may be called a socialist state.\n# According to Marxism, socialism is a stage of social and economic development that will replace capitalism, and will in turn be replaced by communism. Thus, in Marxist terms, a socialist state is a state that has abolished capitalism and is moving towards communism.

Both sides have to come down - atleast slightly - from their stance. In the recent past, though it seemed to happen with the previous government, now the situation is not so favorable for peace. The current ruler is a hardliner. He has rolled back some of the progress achieved earlier.

TURNING INTO a nanny state?!  Unfortunately GB turned into a nanny state in the '50s, when they gave away the farm to the socialists among them.  Now there are too many people there who think H.M. Government should send someone round to wipe their butts every day...Pathetic.

Hope this is not too late\n\nIt's fascinating - went from an imperial government to republic, lots of corruption, then to communist, famine, cultural revolution, then a little bit capital with the opening of the economy, more corrupt, and now the country is pretty stable.\n\nMillions upon millions of people died, values changed, people became selfless (when the govt promoted a man called Lei Feng) and now adays it's every man for himself no matter what happens to everyone else.

None, as the Commonwealth of Independent States was simply a name given to the former USSR when then country started to split apart in the early 1990's.

well the state is build on the constitution and has so by violated the very democratic thing that once brought forth the liberty of freedom by which we all have come from. and further more we must continue to fight for the freedom to constitutionaly solve the issues of statehood and democracy.  there that makes about as much since as the question.  Thanks for asking it was fun.
