Under the Law of Nations, based on principles of natural law: one is a national of the 'state' in which he was born; such state is his native 'country' and nation. Accordingly, the national/citizen owes allegiance to his nation/state-government (in that order). The term 'state' means 'body politic' or government.

Under the Law of Nations: a 'national' is not a resident of his state/country, just a national; moreover, when one lives in a state in which he is not a national member, he is a 'resident' which in law is deemed an alien or foreigner, i.e. a resident alien. Accordingly one is an 'alien' or 'foreigner' to every other country. Also note that “res” means a thing in law, /1\ hence a 'resident' is a man in a foreign jurisdiction taking on a thing identity to be controlled under treaty law or agreements.

Under the Law of Nations: the term human being means a man, women or child; however, the term 'person' is a member of a certain political society and/or nation. One being a national of a certain political society or state occasions one to be under the protection of the government of such nation. The term 'national' differs from the term 'citizen'. In American law, the term we know as 'citizen' relates to political rights and also encompases being 'subject' to the laws, however the political rights of the status may be suspended. One could say that the term 'national' relates to the international law venue.

Under the Law of Nations: the term 'nationality' is the status of belonging to a particular nation by origin, birth, or naturalization [origin = native]. However, one must compare the rules of jus soliand jus sangunis A 'nation' is a society of people bound in unity under a particular government by its mutual consent. And, the term 'naturalization' is the legal process of changing one's nation (or country) to be a member citizen of another; in other words to grant nationality to (one of foreign birth).

Today—under the forced dictates of the New World Order—nationality has little to do with ethnic origin.

Under the Law of Nations: nationality can be changed: it is considered or deemed a natural right; such right is legally called expatriation: The changing of one's country; and accordingly his nationality and citizenship. One's native country is referred to as a natural domicile or domicile of origin; and, if one has changed his country, it is referred to as an acquired domicile, i.e. one's 'national domicile' = a permanent “natural born (i.e. native) national” or “non-native national” of a nation or country.

Under the Law of Nations: the term 'citizen' is in reference to being a 'subject' of a sovereign or subject to a government. In American law, the term 'citizen' refers to political rights. One's political rights are protected under the original constitutional system. Generally, under the law of nations, the term—or rather, the status of—'national' and 'citizen' go hand-in-hand. That is to say—when one is naturalized he is a national and also has political rights; however, state nationals have been disenfranchised due to the legal effects of the Fourteenth Amendment governmental system.

Under the Law of Nations: the systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group is referred to as genocide. Genocide is considered a crime under international law.

The 14th Amendment is part and parcel to the New World Order and its cultural genocide. The United States (government) has effectively eliminated the nationalites of the several states and assigned the nationals of these countries a "national of the United States" status (see Title 8 USC § 1401).
