How can I make this kind of association?

You could set up a method on Person that scopes the association: class Person has_many :things def things_for_country(code) things.scoped(:conditions => { :country_code => code }) end end And then calling it would look like (assume @person is a Person object): @person.things_for_country('US') This will certainly work for *finding* records; I'm not 100% sure what will happen with building/adding objects - it is likely to work, but you should definitely write some tests...
