§ 301.1 Definitions of "national", "alien", "state", "permanent", "allegiance", and "stateless person". The term "national" means a person owing permanent allegiance as a citizen or a subject or otherwise to a state, including the United States. An "alien" is a person who is neither a citizen nor a national of the United States. The term "state" means a member of the community of nations, including its outlying possessions, the term "state" does not include a State of the United States. The term "permanent" as used in this Part in relation to allegiance means a relationship of a continuing or lasting nature, as distinguished from a "temporary" relationship; but a relationship may be permanent even though it is one which may be dissolved eventually at the instance either of the United States or of the individual, in accordance with law. The term "allegiance" means the tie which binds the individual to the state of which he is a national and denotes the sum of the obligations which he owes to the state. A "stateless person" is an alien who does not owe permanent allegiance to any state.* (Nationality Act of 1940, secs. 101 (a), (b), 321, and 335, 54 Stat. 1137, 1148, 1157)
