Best Answer

Nationality is always a format based on the term used to refer to people hailing from the nation and not really the nation itself.

  • Jamaica - Jamaican
  • Britain - British
  • Yugoslavia - Yugoslavian

The point of nationality is to indicate the country but in a form that focuses on the people and not the concept of the country/nation.
