Citizenship
indicates the link between a person and a state or a connection of states. It
is usually identical with the term nationality though the latter term may also
talk about ethnic associations. Possession of citizenship is usually related
with the right to work and live in a country and to take part in political
life. A person who does not have citizenship in any state is said to be
stateless.
Nationality
is frequently used as a synonym for citizenship in English – especially in
international law – even though the term is sometimes understood as indicating
a person's membership of a nation. In some countries for instance the United
States and the United Kingdom, "nationality" and
"citizenship" have different meanings, and it is likely to be a
national of the country but not a citizen.
