This dimension groups countries by their sovereignty status, fully sovereign, partially recognized or a dependent territory. Wikipedia sets out the classic test, noting that "a sovereign state is required to have a permanent population, defined territory, a government not under the control of another, and the capacity to interact with other sovereign states." Browsing by sovereignty status separates fully independent countries from those whose standing is disputed or limited.
