Thanks for your contributions.



But you need to understand that the subject of the sentence above happens to be Nation, Which in the case above is used as singular collective noun.



In almost all cases, 'nation' is a singular collective noun, and would take a singular verb. It's almost always singular because you're referring to the entire nation as a single entity.



The United States is at war in Iraq.

The United Arab Emirates is an oil-producing nation.



Just the way we refer to Nigeria as she, some times.
