A "rogue nation" is a term used to describe a country that frequently or consistently behaves in a manner that is outside the norms of international politics. Some synonyms for "rogue nation" are "outlaw state," "pariah state," or "renegade state." Other options include "maverick nation," "radical state," or "insurgent state." Generally, these phrases refer to countries that are considered to be a threat to global security, often as a result of their aggressive foreign policies or unstable political systems. While the phrasing may differ, the underlying concept remains the same - countries that are seen to be acting in ways that are considered unacceptable by the international community.
