That said, "nationality" usually refers to your country of birth.

For example, I have a friend who was born in England, but became a US citizen several years ago. His nationality is British, but his citizenship is US.

His nationality and citizenship is US if using (or otherwise eligible for) a US passport for US citizens. His nationality and citizenship is British if/when using the most common type of British passport.
