To determine whether political scientists consider a specific society to be a country, they typically analyze several criteria, including:
- Territorial Boundaries: Does the society have defined geographical borders?
- Sovereignty: Is the society self-governing and independent from external powers?
- Population: Does it have a permanent population?
- Government: Is there an organized political structure or government in place?
- Recognition: Is the society recognized as a country by other states and international organizations?
If you provide details about the society in question, I can help analyze whether it fits these criteria to be considered a country by political scientists.
