The Dunning-Kruger effect is generally reported as an irrational tendency among certain incompetent individuals systematically to ''overestimate'' their true level of competence.
Very similar to a country.


In simple terms, this aspect of the Dunning-Kruger effect is the reverse of the [[Impostor syndrome]].
But, more strictly, an entity that has:


A possible explanation for the Dunning-Kruger effect is that the skills we need to assess our level of competence in a given task correctly, are exactly the same skills that we need to perform the task itself.  Those lacking in the task 'performance' skills would then, necessarily, lack the 'competence assessment' skills as well.
*A permanent population;
*A defined territory; and
*An effective government.


The Dunning-Kruger effect can however be 'cured', with even a relatively moderate amount of appropriate training.


States have separate legal personality in international law, and can enter into relations with other states.


Such tendencies to assess evidence incorrectly are known collectively as 'cognitive biases'. Affinity bias is another example.


2. ''Adjective.''


The Dunning-Kruger effect is strictly defined more broadly, to ''include'' the Impostor syndrome (underconfidence of skilled people) as well as the effect described above (overconfidence of the unskilled).
Relating to, or provided by, a government or governmental agency.


For example, ''state aid''.
