Nationhood and citizenship are two different sorts of membership. I recommend Ferdinand Tönnies' simple framework of Gesellschaft vs. Gemeinschaft as something 'every poster on /thirdpositionist/ should be familiar.
Every state is a cultural institution of the biological beings who erected it. A state never forms in absence of a constituency, then precedes to staff its territories with a population of its choosing. The nation yields the state, which then confers citizenship.
A state can certainly become or deracinated, "denationalized" or more more precisely, inattentive to and even hostile towards the nation which founded it. But no matter what rights, for example, the Constitution guarantees for people of all heritages, it was at the outset an English diaspora document.
