Neutrality is a noun formed from the adjective neutral. It can mean the state of a chemical (such as a salt) with neither acidity nor alkalinity.

But by far the most common use is to describe a "neutral country" during warfare, one that declares its neutrality and therefore aids neither side. The US was ostensibly neutral during the first two years of World War 2, but did considerable trade with Great Britain, as did Ireland. Spain claimed to be neutral, but provided covert aid to Germany and the Axis. Only Switzerland maintained almost absolute neutrality.
