Nationality (English)

Nationality refers to a person’s legal relationship with a specific country, usually indicated by the citizenship they hold. It signifies the country’s recognition of an individual as a member, entitling them to certain rights and responsibilities, such as voting, working, and residing there. Nationality is typically acquired by birth, descent, or naturalization. It helps identify a person’s national identity and allegiance to a particular nation-state. For example, someone with English nationality is recognized as a citizen of England, part of the United Kingdom, and shares common legal and cultural ties to that country.
