Nationality is a manipulation to divide people.
Creating and maintaining an "Us vs Them" mentality
is a method to generate revenue and power streams
from the gullible
to the benefit of those who perpetuate such mentality.
(see also 'patriotism'.)
The idea of a 'nation' is a population
native to a specific geographic area.
The reality is that such a specification is not a physical fact
but rather a confluence of opinions.
An example of just how silly this notion is
would be to relocate someone from one 'nation'
into another 'nation' some distance removed.
In the absence of context,
nationality obviously becomes the subject of various opinions.
In this kind of situation it becomes entirely possible
to assign 'Nationality' completely and absurdly different from
the origin of the individual.
There is no such thing as a 'fact' of Nationality.
At best,
Nationality is an illusion agreed upon by motley groupings of individuals.

STOPCitizenship is a duty of allegiance in return for a duty to protect.
You can't sue the cops for not protecting you.
The SCOTUS has been clear about that for 70 years.
There is no duty to protect, there can be no citizens.
Indeed !
Citizenship is an unfulfillable contract broken from the moment it is conceived.
