#22Country? No. But I live in the same city I was born in. (I live in Croatia that was part of ex Yugoslavia, which fell apart in the 90es)
Nice country, I did the whole coast a few years ago.

Left in 2003, and for the looks of it, I share your feelings.

#2412:48 GMT. 43 yes, 24 no. I have a feeling that the yes's will greatly outnumber the no's a little later when the U.S. logs in.
Maybe different US states should count as a No? Depending on what the point of this exercise is.
Although experiences across different states can differ. The OP states having moved to a different country. This entails new culture, language and traditions for many countries.
Of course this is more likely to happen in Europe where countries are smaller and borders, well aren't borders anymore.
The United States is a huge country and the job opportunities and lifestyle in Mexico may not seem beneficial to most citizens.

#25I always have a hard time answering the question "Where are you from?"
I was born in a country that doesn't give out citizenship (A middle eastern nation). My father, too, was born there. In fact, I need a visa to go visit my own birth country (where my parents still live).
I inherited Indian citizenship through my father and his family (I've never lived there), and potentially British citizenship through my mother (she was born in England but British nationality laws are very complicated). I travel on an Indian passport although I can not vote in India as I am a Non-Resident Indian (That might change for the 2014 elections).
My permanent residency, interestingly, is in Canada; and I live and work in the US.
Edit: I just know there is a business in here somewhere.

#26Yes for the time being, but there’s probably a move in my future.
Re: Poll: do you live in the country you were born in?
#27Yes, and still liking it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Zürich.jpg
Hehe that's my next destination (next year)!
Re: Poll: do you live in the country you were born in?
#28I must say yes, unfortunately... I really want to leave, but I cannot yet.
why?
Some countries have more opportunities.
Some countries have more freedoms.
Some countries have more resources and that translates into more money, more technology and a better quality of life.
.
Pick one, or all three.

Yes, this is valid for other similar instances, like the former Soviet Union republics, Germany, Sudan, and a bunch of other places which if not changed their boundaries, at least changed their political regime calling themselves differently now. Taking this a little bit further, you may also reach the conclusion that all places are different now because they changed somehow along the way, even if are called the same.
