Way back in the last century when I was a kid there was no such thing as dual citizenship as far as I can remember.
I'm yuro, and the concept of dual-citizenship is straight up alien here.
The only case that comes close goes something like this:
guy born in country A
emigrates to country B, meets girl
they have a kid
guy is still citizen from country A
girl is still citizen from country B
kid is considered citizen from A and B until he's 18
then he has to pick one, and drop the other
And in some countries, the kid is a citizen of the country he was born in, parent affiliation be damned. I know of an italian kid with a german and spanish parent, born on a roadtrip they were taking.
I think I heard about American dual-citizenship a couple years ago, and out of curiosity, started asking about things like that around here. Absolutely noone heard of anything even similar, and when I bring up the 'muricans example, people flatout don't believe something like that would be possible. It's bizarre.
Even more bizarre when you consider that in Israel, members of Parliament must renounce any other citizenship before taking their seat in the Knesset. Strange, isn't it? Sounds like another case of "Rules for thee, but not for me!"
