#75Earlier quoted context omitted.
One of the GCC [1] countries. I am sure none of them give citizenship or even permanent residency to non-citizens born in them. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperation_Council_for_the_Ara...
Generally only in the Americas is citizenship given to those who were born in a particular country. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli
It used to be the same in India. But it changed a few years ago. Now you can Indian citizenship if you are born in India and atleast one of your parents is an Indian citizen.

Nice shorthand! :)

#80I was born in Wales and live currently in England. These are two different countries of the four that form the UK. My personal impression is that within the UK these are not seen so much as different countries but more as different administrative areas within the one country, and from without the UK you'd generally be lucky to find someone who is aware that Wales is a country and the UK is not. Technically I should v…
The UK is a country: it's just that it's a country composed of 4 countries.
Technically, you should vote both 'yes' and 'no'.
