Semi-Sovereign

Definition: Referring to a state or entity that possesses limited or partial sovereignty, typically sharing power with a superior governing body.

Example:

• Sheikhdoms in the United Arab Emirates are considered semi-sovereign, as they have their own rulers but are ultimately under the authority of the federal government.
• The Native American tribes in the United States have a semi-sovereign status, as they govern their own lands but are subject to federal laws.
