Keep the three apart and your Esperanto gets sharper straight away: is the territory, is the people, is the people understood as a political body. The root hands you for national, samnaciano for a fellow national, and above all , which is the word Zamenhof leaned on hardest - Esperanto was sold as an , a bridge between nations rather than a replacement for any of them.
