intranational

Inside one country

Intranational describes things occurring within a single nation's borders, as opposed to international matters that cross between countries.

The term appears most often in political science, economics, and policy discussions when distinguishing domestic affairs from foreign ones.

The study focused on intranational migration patterns rather than immigration from abroad.

Intranational trade between provinces accounts for much of the country's economic activity.
