nationality
Legal national status
Nationality is membership in a nation, typically by birth or naturalization: What nationality are you?
It indicates the country whose passport you hold or whose citizens you belong among.
Nationality can also refer to a people sharing ethnic, cultural, or linguistic identity, whether or not they have their own state: the Kurdish nationality.
The plural nationalities often appears in discussions of diverse populations within a single country.
