It kinda of confuses me when use the term "nation state" instead of just "state". For example Canada is not a nation-state but surely they are powerful and important enough that they could also pursue this kind of case.

This has been a pet peeve of mine for some time now. It seems people just feel smarter using a fancy terms instead of "a state" or "a government".
