The Natio Hungarica or Natio Hungarorum was a term for the people of the Kingdom of Hungary irrespective of their ethnic background, and is thus an indication of geographic status and not ethnic origin. However, the Latin term, natio Hungarica referred only to those groups with the right to representation in the diet: the nobility, the Catholic clergy, and a few enfranchised burghers. The term included only the land-owning nobility and not the peasantry. The Hungarian Kingdom was not a nation state in the modern sense of the word, but a multiethnic country, inhabited by Hungarians, Croats, Germans, Romanians, Ruthenes, Serbs and Slovaks, in which the Hungarian nobility held the dominant position. This situation was not unique as the medieval period does not offer examples of nation states. An individual belonged to the "Hungarian Nation" if he or she resided under the authority of the King of Hungary, in the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen.
