Can a state be sovereign?
Yes. A sovereign state is a state that has authority over a territory.
Who is this "State" ?
There are hundreds of different states currently in the world, each one of them with different rules. For example, in some of them you don't get citizenship by simply being born there, you need to have extra requirements, like your parents being permanent residents or citizens themselves first.
