Superstate
Large and powerful state formed from smaller states / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the political concept. For the quantum mechanics principle, see Quantum superposition.
Not to be confused with Supranational union.
A superstate is defined as "a large and powerful state formed when several smaller countries unite",[1] or "A large and powerful state formed from a federation or union of nations",[2] or "a hybrid form of polity that combines features of ancient empires and modern states."[3] This is distinct from the concept of superpower, although these are sometimes seen together.[4]
