Nationality

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
The nationality of a person is that person's legal relationship with a state, for example a Swedish
person's legal relationship with the kingdom of Sweden.[1] Nationality is not identical to
citizenship but in the majority of states most of the population are also citizens. Dual nationality
means that the person has a legal relationship with two different states at the same time, for
example the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The rights and duties of individual
people and the states they belong to vary from country to country.[2]
