Question

People constituting a nation may actually be citizens or residents of different states.

Answer 1

• There are more Jamaicans living outside Jamaica than in Jamaica; that is, the population of ‘non-resident’ Jamaicans exceeds that of ‘resident’ Jamaicans.
• A different example is provided by ‘dual citizenship’ laws. These laws allow citizens of a particular state to also, simultaneously, be citizens of another state. Thus, to cite one instance, Jewish Americans may be citizens of Israel as well as the USA; they can even serve in the armed forces of one country without losing their citizenship in the other country.
