And the individual also could be his own country.
Read more about The Convention on the Rights and Duties of States is an international treaty signed in Montevideo, Uruguay, on December 26, 1933.
That sounds intriguing! 😁

The convention establishes the definition of the State, its rights and obligations.
In Article 1 it establishes four characteristic criteria of a State that have become part of customary international law.
They have been recognized as confirmation in International Law, establishing that a State as a person of International Law must meet the following requirements:
ARTICLE 1
The State as a subject of International Law must meet the following requirements:
I. Permanent population (my own body is my "population")
II. Determined territory (the limits of my own body are the limits of my country)
III. Government (I can be my own government)
IV. Ability to enter into relations with other States (happy to do so)
Under these guidelines, any entity that meets these criteria can be considered a sovereign state under international law, whether or not it has been recognized by other states.
ARTICLE 3
The political existence of the state is independent of its recognition by other states.
Even before being recognized, the State has the right to defend its integrity and independence.
ARTICLE 7
The recognition of the State may be express or tacit. The latter results from any act that implies the intention to recognize the new State.
Wherever you travel, you are like a "diplomat" in a foreign country.
You can make your own ID if you like, is your OWN creation, not any gov creation.
If you "identify" yourself with a govID you are committing a falsity, the person in that paper is NOT you, is a dead man, that doesn't exist in real life.
You are a living man, not a paper.
