Is any nation truly independent?

No nation desires true independence. Most of them use forced true independence under the trade embargo as a punishment. Even then, it seldom involves true independence. Getting close to the status of truly independent can cripple the economy and reduce the standard of living.

A nation, as people, can be truly independent if they live in the jungle and avoid contact. However, whether a nation is truly independent or not predictable as every nation is dependent on others for essential resources.

For this question, we can answer two ways:

Yes

Yes, any nation can be independent when that nation has every source to fulfil its people's needs. In addition, it needs to have independence in the matters of marine, military, economy, goods, etc..

For example, the most independent country is Hong Kong but Canada is independent in matters of freedom. So, every country is independent in the perspective of some matters.

In this world, no nation is independent. Why? This is because every country depends on another country for particular reasons like food, goods, petrol, weapons, military, marine. etc

For example, the U.S. is the top GDP rate country. It is the world's most powerful country and may be independent in terms of freedom and luxury matters. However, its top five sources of petroleum imports are from Canada, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Columbia. So, we can assume no country in this universe is truly independent.

What if dependent?

Do you think is it possible for any nation to be independent? Maybe, if that country has the biggest oil resources and the best weapon-making equipment, and has people who always support their Prime Minister’s decision. Independence makes countries powerful and rich, but no other country will support and take their side in a time of crisis.

Last year, the island nation Sri Lanka faced a food crisis and got help from other nations because it is not an independent country. India has given much support to many countries because it has the ability to do so, and other countries will do the same thing when any problem occurs to one country if they don't have an independent tag.

Today, the powerful country Russia is at war with Ukraine. Some countries are showing their support to Russia, while some are helping Ukraine. This is an example of perception of independence.

Dependent or independent is always decided by economic structure and resources, and the country's Prime Minister plays a crucial role in this decision. We often seek independence for the people living in the country, but we often ignore the countries when we seek independence. Such a perspective affects the whole universe.

Conclusion

If any country wants to be independent in this world, we believe that country is either rich or powerful, and no other country will dare to be friendly with that country. Independence may be royal, rich and unique, but there is always a risk, unhappiness, and no protection status associated with it. When someone or some country announces war on another country (independent country), then no country will support that independent country and their people may lose their lives of peaceful living only because of independence.

Nobody or no country is independent. Human history is interconnected, as are countries, regions, and areas. So yes, in the sense of thinking the possibility of complete isolation, there are no independent countries on earth.

Before this, many countries fought for their independence from Britishers, but they only thought about freedom here. We need to take support from other countries and give freedom to our country's people.
