> place of birth doesn't determine nationality

Depends: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli

In most of the Americas it actually does.

In most of the world by landmass and population it doesn’t

As anybody with dual citizenship has the passports to prove it, Jus Soli is only half (or a third, for triple citizenship) the story.

Anyone with a dual should give one to a stateless person. The group no one talks about.

That's not how nationality/citizenship works, is it?
Re:Lamest Edit Wars by ipaddr on Tuesday May 09, 2023 @01:42PM (#35877847)
Not saying they could but think of how many people have more than one citizenship and how many have none. Without a state you are shutoff from everything from the internet to basic rights or a legal place to live. Existing is most likely violating someone's law

That only leaves

- the rest of the world

- the fact that right to nationality is not the same as having it. France has the same right, but --as I already pointed out-- there are quite a few people born there who didn't take the nationality

- the fact that it can change, and that the inference becomes invalid in the future
