To determine whether political scientists consider the society described in the passage to be a country, we need to assess the factors typically associated with a country. One of the key criteria is the presence of an organized government.
According to the passage, the fishing society in question does not have a government and does not acknowledge the authority of any larger government. Therefore, based on this information, we can eliminate the options that suggest the society is considered a country.
While the passage does state that the society has occupied a defined piece of coastal land for centuries, the absence of an organized government prevents it from meeting the criteria for being considered a country.
Furthermore, the passage also mentions that the society's occupation extends to the surrounding fishing areas, which indicates that its dominion largely encompasses sea space rather than just land. Therefore, we can eliminate the option that suggests the society is considered a country because of its historical sovereignty over the area.
In conclusion, political scientists would likely consider the society described in the passage to not be a country because it does not have an organized government, despite its historical occupation of a defined piece of coastal land and fishing areas. Therefore, the correct answer is: no, because it does not have an organized government.
