Sovereign land (6)

I believe the answer is:

nation

(Other definitions for nation that I've seen before include "Body of people under a single government" , "People of a country" , "Race" , "Large community of people under one government" , "Body of people united by their homeland" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
