Could you elaborate on your meaning? Is this a "wishing"-sort-of thread, in that if we could, ideally, be recognized as another nationality, what would that country be?
I'm not trying to be finnicky or cut you down at all, but I do find the query sort of patronizing, as my family and I worked quite hard to obtain my US citizenship, and along with that, I earned two more after the fact (English / UK and Spanish). In total, I have 5 real citizenships, 3 of which I earned through studying the nation's history and politics, 1 which was given to me at the time for just "being" (where I was born), and another, which was "rewarded" to me for working and contributing towards a project in a foreign country. Also, I had to be a resident in each of those country's for a set time period (it varies from place to place), but as I was living there each time (or working there), it was offered to me by friends that I apply for citizenship, so I'm not just "sitting on your arse, toilng away with nothing to show for it but raw hands and a pint in your belly!".
Last bit: I'm currently still a resident in Argentina, but I think that it (has?) expires soon. I'll have to check the card.
