How do you define nationality?

[Balti]

Your nationality is either the country you live in, or the country you've spent a considerable amount of time in.

Only if you like/love/respect that country and don't want to bomb it

This.

Since a nation is only ever an 'imagined community' you are what ever nationality you consider yourself to be.

It's not just imagined community.

This might help out.

You see how each ethnic groups lives in masses in it's country? Some ethinc groups have more than one country, but if you do research you will find, their DNA is quite different. So it's not just imagined community, it's a community linked by DNA.

You can become an English citizen, but that does not mean you are English.

Whatever national team you support

Not so sure about that one.
For example,I am an avid supporter of the Brazilian women's beach volleyball team,and I was not born in Rio De Janeiro,and speak only rudimentary Portuguese.
I do,however,admire their physical prowess,positional awareness,astute tactics and great bottoms.
I would have a terrible crisis of conscience if Brazil played England ladies in the Olympic final,although this is highly unlikely as our ladies are pants,mainly due to us not having any beaches that aren't full of raw sewage,used condoms,Diamond White cans or hypodermic needles,and the fact that our summer only lasts one day.
I also find myself rooting for pretty much any country that is playing America at anything whatsoever,but then most people probably do that.
Its not that I am anti-American per se,I just can't abide all those flag-waving smiley folk with perfect teeth,chanting 'USA,USA' like some mantra for the permanently deranged.

That would make me , at different times in me life, French, English, Greek, Spanish and a bit American.

Ethnicity and nationality are two different things. By your reckoning there is no such thing as a black Italian or Englishman.

You getting your nationality after your parents. It supposed to be obvious but isn`t as I can see....
If both your parents are British, you are Briton- no matter where you were born.
If your mom is British and dad is Spanish you half British half Spanish- no matter where you were born.
And even if my Polish friends daughter is born in Wishaw General Hospital- it`s no fckn way she is or will be British.
Simple.
Citizenship is not nationality. There are two different things, very often mistaken by the people.

[UltraPoland]
