#exile

• Exile — A residual archaic, bookish, or rare poetic form, sometimes used in the past as a variant for 'străinătate' (foreign lands) or for the state of absolute isolation of the spirit. In certain early romantic writings or old translations of philosophical texts, the word suggested a melancholic rupture from one's homeland, a long wandering among strangers, or the mental state of a person who no longer finds their place at home.
• Stateless person — A person who is not considered as a national by any state under the operation of its law, lacking the legal protection of a sovereign national authority; a stateless person. In the historical context of Ancient Greece, the term denoted a citizen exiled or expelled from their native city-state (polis), thereby losing all civil, political rights and legal communal identity.
• Self-imposed exile — Voluntary departure from one's homeland or community and settling in a foreign place, driven by deep political disagreements, imminent ideological persecution, or private moral and creative reasons. Unlike forced exile, the decision belongs to the individual, being an act of protest, protection, or assumed isolation.
