For Reference:

Light blue countries have restrictions (such as permanent residency) so I wanna hear your opinions as well.

    “Required”? That’s looking at it from a funny angle. Descent is not usually lacking. Don’t you have parents?

    Descent simply decides which citizenship you have, at first. That’s all. But if you feel you “require” a different descent, then I don’t know… :)

      Well, you’re denying people certain basic freedoms based on who their parents were. Not all countries provide citizenship based on ancestry, and this means that denying birthright citizenship can lead to statelessness, which is very dangerous for those people. So for them, it is a requirement for a basic and normal life free from state violence.

        Nobody does any denying. Things are just as they have been since … ancient times.

        can lead to statelessness

        Purely theoretical, since the other countries around have it the same way. Zero such cases per year.
