Conscription Requirements

Having only recently started playing Civ after several months of inactivity, and only VERY recently seeing games through the Industrial Age, I am noticing that it is impossible to conscript units in some of my cities. It seems to be in captured cities only, but that is only a guess. I have looked and looked, on the forums, the 'pedia, and even the coaster (or is it a manual?), but there seems to be no info regarding restrictions to conscription. Does anyone know FOR A FACT (please, no assumptions or hearsay, I want a REAL answer) what the restrictions on when you are allowed to conscript troops?

You need nationalism and have to have a population of 7 or more and no unrest in the city.

And no resisters either.

I think, but I'm not sure, that they have to be your own citizens. So a recently captured big city with no unrest and resistance but containing all foreign citizens would be undraftable.

Obviously, I know you need nationalism

I figured it was all of those factors, but since the game designers decided not to enlighten us on what you actually need..... but thanks
