Putting aside politics, with the exception of naturalisation, what do you think is the best way to determine a child's citizenship - country of birth or parents' country?

(Racists these days fight for parents country, but decades ago, colonialists fought for country of birth. Either way, try to ignore all of that.)

If you were President of the world, how would you decide a child's citizenship?

I admit I choice "choice at 18" at least partly as the easy way out, but also for many countries being citizen comes with obligations like military service, and it seems more fair to let people choose which set of rights and responsibilities they find least bad.

My child has two nationalities, and neither is the country where they were born and where they live.
I hope that they get to decide at their majority where they feel they truly belong. - but most of all, like another commenter wrote, I hope they just don't have to worry about borders.

@David Njoku I think it's important for people below 18 to be able to have both the citizenship of their parents and that of the place they are growing up / attending school in (which may be different from that of their birth), as doing otherwise will prevent them from having a number of opportunities that their peers at school have.

And then if they really really need to only have one, I'd guess choice at 18?

But I'd also say “why not both?”
