This is not your "nationality", it simply determines which of the three minor storylines you have leading into the main story. Once you get your airship pass there is no difference between which nation you chose and you can use the same services in any nation you wish to use as your home base.

Your real "nationality" is chosen when you pick which Grand Company you wish to join later on.
Except in the case of the unwanted character editor that changed my starting class of Lvl 38 Conj in Gridania to Lvl 15 Gladiator in Uldah
so my city state changed and I am not using my main class.. I still did the level to unlock the airship so I am not complaining of the course of events but a story driven MMorpg should not alter your link to the story start place.
