In a nominalgention, there is no actual nation. An illustration is Outlawington, a country that defines Outlaws as living by their own rules anywhere they may go (Outlaw is also an Outlawington ethnicity).

Typically, nominal nations are placed on top of or over legally recognized nations. Whether a country is a micronation (serious about succession from the diplomatic nation it resides in) or a nominalgention (does not perceive itself as independent from the country it resides in) depends on how seriously the claim of sovereignty is made.
Outlawington is a nominalgention consisting of Outlaws and is a nation in name only!
