NATIONALITY , a somewhat vague See also:

term, used strictly in See also:international See also:law (see INTERNATIONAL LAW, PRIVATE) for the status of membership in a nation or See also:state (for the conditions of which see STATE, See also:ALLEGIANCE, See also:NATURALIZATION, See also:ALIEN), See also:ana in a more extended sense in See also:political discussion to denote an See also:aggregation of persons claiming to represent a racial, territorial or some other See also:bond of unity, though not necessarily recognized as an See also:independent political entity. In this latter sense the word has often been applied to such See also:people as the Irish, the Armenians and the Czechs. A " nationality " in this connexion represents a See also:common feeling and an organized claim rather than distinct attributes which can be comprised in a strict See also:definition.
