What is the difference between a country and a principality?

Tabby Tom

A principality is a country which is governed by a prince, e.g. Monaco or Liechtenstein. A country is any area which is a distinct geopolitical entity: it may be a principality, a kingdom, a republic or whatever. Some reference books limit the use of 'country' to sovereign states, and call colonies and dependencies 'territories' or something like that. Apr 26 03, 8:05 PM
