Does the country you were born in define your nationality?

I am Lebanese citizen Born in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates or UAE on 10 June 1995, and grew up in its neighboring city Dubai where Burj Khalifa. Well UAE is a very famous country, and so developed. so I feel that I am more like Emarati than Lebanese because I had lived there in UAE since the moment I was born there in Abu Dhabi. And since I lived there for 18 years ago, and I still live there enjoying my life in the Emirates.

Usually governments like to claim you as their property the moment you plop out of that vagina. Which ever government you want to be ruled by, with their arbitrarily lined out nations, is how you can define your "nationality". Such as a cow can brand himself as a Farmer Johnsican.

Fixed that one for you.

Someone cannot agree for me, sorry. Nice try. How far down that chain are you willing to go?

Mairuzu: do you really think he was asking if the government will let him identify with a nation not of his birth?

He was asking if the country he was born in defines his nationality and I told him he can define his nationality however he wants depending on which government he wants to rule him.

We're all about to get truth-bombed.

So if I define myself by my Scottish roots I am now a subject of the British Empire?

I don't have a lot of say in what nation I belong to, unless being able to drop everything and move hundreds of kilometers from where I am now is a reasonable "choice".

The OP is obviously asking about the culture they feel they want to be a part of... /ffs

Come on silly. The only agreement (mother alone) had was having me in her current area where she was at the time.

Culture differs from nation. I have mexican culture, I am not mexican seeing as I live and am controlled by the american government. That is not what the OP was asking, but if it was I think he can answer that for himself 😉

he is talking about feeling like an Emerati living in Lebanon, this is clearly a question of cultural identity, it has nothing to do with legal citizenship.

Coward. If you were a real man you'd get a gun and build a fortress of freedom in the Montana Badlands to fight off Uncle Sam's unwanted advances.

Lol, the fortress is in your own mind. Do they own you or do you own yourself?

Did you not see the title of the OP?

But again, it all depends on what you imagine. 🙂

/facepalm

What does the title say in the OP?

Yes they can. You can complain about, sure, it but they can.

She could choose to have given birth to you anywhere she wished.
She could choose to get rid of her citizenship before giving birth.
