Summarize this article for a 10 year old
A British protected person (BPP) is a member of a class of British nationality associated with former protectorates, protected states, and territorial mandates and trusts under British control. Individuals with this nationality are British nationals, but are neither British nor Commonwealth citizens. Nationals of this class are subject to immigration controls when entering the United Kingdom and do not have the automatic right of abode there or any other country.
This nationality was created to accommodate residents of certain areas that were under British protection or administration but not formally incorporated as Crown dominions. As of 2020[update] about 1,200 British protected persons currently hold active British passports with this status and enjoy consular protection when travelling abroad.[1] However, individuals who only hold BPP nationality are effectively stateless as they are not guaranteed the right to enter the country in which they are nationals.
