nationality/national
""
Nationality is a legal identification of a person in international law, establishing the person as a subject, a national, of a sovereign state. It affords the state jurisdiction over the person and affords the person the protection of the state against other states. The rights and duties of nationals vary from state to state and are often complemented by citizenship law. By international custom and conventions, it is the right of each state to determine who its nationals are.
Passports are issued to nationals of a state, rather than only to citizens, because the passport is the travel document used to enter the country. Nationals normally have the right to enter or return to the country they belong to. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationality]
