That is because I didn't know how to answer your question. But IMO, for some strange reason "nation" and "nationality" don't necessarily reflect the same thing as logic would seem to indicate from a language point of view.
Nationality definitely relates to a country within (mostly) UN recognized borders, which can issue passports to their citizens.
Nation is sometimes used in a more general way but that application of this noun seems to be fading away.
I have never heard, nor read about a Jewish or a Roma nation though. Have you? A couple of links would be helpful.

The Nation of the USA? Sounds as antique as the Nation of Canada. The Nation of England?? Come on...

"Nation" is on its decline, "nationality" not quite.
