Is the Basque Country a Country?

Question

Is the Basque Country a Country?

Answer 1

no but thier terrorsts would realy love that

Answer 2

Sure is a country. What's wrong to be a country withing a major country. They have all the characteristic to be a country like defined territory, culture and language. The same occurs to my country Puerto Rico.  Do you think that P. R. is a country? I have no doubt.

Answer 3

This territory is located between France and Spain.

I am afraid but this is not a country.

Answer 4

not in the international legal sense, no

however the basque region of spain has the status of an autonomous province, like catalunya

Answer 5

There are three parts to the Basque Country. The Basque Autonomous Community, which is part of Spain; Navarre to the East of the Basque Autonomous Community where a lesser percentage of the population are Basque speaking; and Pays Basques to the North, which is part of the Pyrenees-Atlantique department of France. It may be more accurate to describe the Basque Country as a cultural region rather than a country, and neither Spain nor France recognise the Basques' right to self-determination, but I think the Basque country is a country in the same way as Wales is a country.

Answer 6

No, it's not a sovreign nation.

Answer 7

If it was an independent sovereign state I don't think ETA would be so active.  It is a seperate entity more in a cultural, historical sense although does have some political autonomy.
