State – a region that holds a separate identity but is not autonomous. States may represent individual sections of a nation and are connected by a central government.

Liberty – the freedom to not be regulated by a present authority. Liberty is controlled by the laws of a territory and is further defined by the perspective of justice within the land.

Justice – the concept of how morals and standards are equally enforced upon the population of a country. Justice is subjective because its interpretation will vary from different societies.
