Best Answer

Nationality - is the country where you were born. Citizenship - is 'adopted' nationality. For example, I am British by birthright - I was born in England (as were many generations of my family). If I were to emigrate to Australia, I could apply for citizenship - however - my nationality on any legal documents would still say British.

Citizenship is a legal status that grants individuals certain rights and responsibilities within a specific country, usually obtained through birth, naturalization, or descent. Nationality, on the other hand, refers to the legal attachment and allegiance of an individual to a particular nation or country, which may or may not come with the full rights and privileges of citizenship.
