#1 Splitting Person nationality and citizenship

Effective date:took effect on
Components affected:Data model
Announcement:

The followthemoney data model currently stores the citizenship of individuals in the nationality property. After being advised the the two concepts are not identical in some jurisdictions, we've now also introduced a citizenship property. From the effective date we will begin moving country affiliations for individuals in the citizenship property if that nomenclature is used in the data source (e.g. the UK sanctions list).

Data consumers should check both properties in the future. To get a complete picture of the countries linked to an individual you may also want to check the birthCountry and country field. The latter serves as a catch-all field for affiliations that may not involve citizenship or holding a passport - simple residence might be enough.
