Monoethnicity is the——existence of a single ethnic group in a given region/country. It is the opposite of polyethnicity.
An example of a largely monoethnic country is Japan. It is a common belief in Japan that the "entire country is monoethnic." But a few ethnic minorities live in Japan (e.g. Koreans, Ainus, and Ryukyuans). They represent around 1% of the whole population.
South Korea is another largely monoethnic country. There are small ethnic minorities that exist in South Korea, where they account for around 1% of the South Korean population. These include around 650,000 Chinese immigrants.
The Yugoslav Wars are noted as having made Yugoslavia's successor states "de facto and de jure monoethnic nation-states".
