I learned from Sonia Stanciu that there is a distinction between the concepts of Citizenship and Nationality. She taught me that whereas citizenship is (in the best of cases) a privilege granted by a sovereign state, nationality is a question of individual conscience and cultural identity. My citizenships are as stated, but insofar as I have a nationality at all, this would be Spanish.
