#2More interesting than the list of individual countries, is which dual citizenship’s give the “best” value. I’m eligible for citizenship of at least 4 countries, typically it’s hard to maintain more than dual citizenship, so if this was the vector I wanted to optimize on, which pair would be best?

Australian by birth and British by descent (much of Australia’s citizenry) works well; visa free travel to many countries, a special work visa category in the US, and the ability to work in th UK and Europe, at least until any brexit.

"typically it’s hard to maintain more than dual citizenship"
I am considering taking a 3rd. I am aware of some of the hurdles but out of curiosity, where do you see problems?

If just going by economic strength: US + any EU country. As a bonus, if you are of ethnic Chinese descent, you can look into one of the "greater China" regions of HK/Macau/Taiwan as well, depending on where you/your parents were born.
That combo would give you the ability to live and work freely in the three most important economies in the world (US/EU/CN).

I have three (US and two EU countries) and as far as I am aware the biggest hurdle is paying for multiple passport renewals.

Although it keeps you out of parliament. And I think the proportion of Australians with dual British citizenship is greatly exaggerated. (My nearest British ancestory is on the other side of Queen Victoria.)
