=History=

During the latter half of the 19th century, Emperor Sāngat (reign: 1842–1903) enacted the first codified, formal nationality law, known as the Imperial Countryman Edict of 1868. The Imperial Countryman Edict declared that only ethnic Yaettengese were citizens, and that the Dōssanese, Basans, and other ethnic minorities were "Kaihinim" and were therefore second-class citizens.

During the Occupation of Yaetteng (1936–1941) by Basanreseri-Kinshu during the Great Eulhe War (later Basanreseri) and Fusen, all Yaettengese became subjects of Basanreseri, and Fusen. Fusenese nationality law and Basanreserian nationality law were not extended to the occupied regions of Yaetteng to prevent Yaettengese from renouncing Basanreserian or Fusenese nationality and naturalizing as foreign citizens elsewhere. Similarly, citizens Dōssan Republic (1936–1941) were barred from leaving the country, as to ensure that all citizens could contribute to the war effort in the Bangju Theatre.

Even after gaining independence after the Eulhae War, the Republic of Yaetteng (1942–1960) never had any formal nationality laws. The lack of nationality laws lead to strange instances such as, the unilateral declaration of all members of the Yaettengese diaspora being deemed as Yaettengese citizens, and the government tried to forcefully repatriate members of the Yaettengese diaspora.
