Palestine is a territory within the borders of Israel...which is nuts. The reason why it is not a country, Pedes, is because there are certain conditions required for classification as a country, per international standards, including: (1) well-defined borders; (2) an independent governance system; (3) an official standing militia; and (4) it's own currency and banking system. The Vatican has met all four criteria (the Swiss Guards are its standing militia), and is recognized, therefore, as a city-state within Italy, and not as a territory within it. Palestine has neither of the latter most two items on the list of requirements.
The USA cannot be a capital “N” Nation. A Nation is a People. We are not that.
But...
We can be a Republic. But the Republic is gone.
Right now the USA is a Corporation.
Not sure the Republic can be restored...because it famously was not KEPT.
I think Franklin’s “if you can keep it” implies that if you can’t, you won’t get it back.

Good goy! Here's a handful of goy chow and a pat on the head.
