 It means no other state can tell you what to do. ​

There are clear borders between states, there are two kinds of borders:

1. In the past, states made their borders along lakes, rivers, mountains, coasts or maybe a forest. These borders were difficult to cross and easy to defend. We call this a ‘natural border’. ​
