Country
A country is a distinct part of the world, such as a state, nation, or other political entity. When referring to a specific polity, the term "country" may refer to a sovereign state, state with limited recognition, constituent country, or dependent territory. Most sovereign states, but not all countries, are members of the United Nations. There is no universal agreement on the number of "countries" in the world, since several states have disputed sovereignty status or limited recognition, and a number of non-sovereign entities are commonly considered countries. The definition and usage of the word "country" are flexible and have changed over time. '' The Economist'' wrote in 2010 that "any attempt to find a clear definition of a country soon runs into a thicket of exceptions and anomalies." Areas much smaller than a political entity may be referred to as a "country", such as the West Country in England, "big sky country" (used in various contexts of the American We ...

Cess
Cess (pronounced ) is a tax - generally one levied for promoting services like health and education. Governments often charge a cess for the purpose of development in social sectors. The word is a shortened form of "assess". The spelling is due to a mistaken connection with ''census''. "Cess" (, possibly from Latin ) was an official term used in Ireland from at least the 16th century and when that country formed part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, but has been superseded by "rate". The term was formerly particularly applied to local taxation. In the British Raj the term was applied, with a qualifying prefix, to any taxation, such as irrigation-cess and educational-cess. Government censuses referred to them collectively as "cesses", as in "land revenue and cesses". In modern India, the word refers to a tax earmarked for a particular purpose, such as education; such cesses are levied as an additional tax on the basic tax-liability. In Scotland, "cess" ref ...
