A '''sovereign''' is a stretch of land or a selection of esistence on some [[plane]] that is under the control of a particular [[race]] or [[faction]]. In human terms, this is '''empires''', '''kingdoms''' or '''city-states'''.
__TOC__
==DiabloWiki Term==
In terms of the [[DiabloWiki.net|Diablo Wiki]], "sovereigns" include really any area that is under the specific control of a specific [[race]] or [[faction]]. If they have the power in an area, they have sovereign power over it, and it's by those terms defined as theirs, even if it's occupied, destroyed, or perhaps not considered a physical "area" in as much a way as a "[[plane]]" or "[[realm]]".
In most cases, a sovereign does not stretch an ''entire'' realm, plane or planet.
Please note that some sovereigns may also be a [[settlement]], and they are both considered a [[location]].
The reason that "sovereign" is used to describe "countries", "empires", "kingdoms", or general areas of control is that it can apply to regular human countries, the [[High Heavens]] or the [[Burning Hells]] without having to use multiple terms to define them all. Especially considering that there seems to be multiple Hells and multiple Heavens, things could get quite complex.
==All Sovereigns==
