An organized group of persons associated together for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes.
Yes there are societies but not society.
A nation or nations can not be defined as a "society".
A society has to have a name as the organised group lets say "The society of clay pot worshippers".
Again, look at the definition. I think it would be safe to say a nation counts as a group of people associated together for political and cultural, and often religious reasons.
