Dear all:
What does "singular state" mean in the following passage? It is from the book The Iranian Crisis and the Birth of the Cold War by Benjamin F. Harper, p. 105.
"Iran in the first half of the twentieth century was not the autocratic and singular state that it came to be in the second half."
I guess it means "a country with a a political leader who possess absolute power", but I did not find such a meaning for "singular".
Many thanks in advance
