It is a very strange, unjust law.

I guess the easier way is to switch jurisdiction. We are always good to say there's something wrong here and there. Did you ever think you might be the one doing something wrong (unconsciously) and these are just the consequences of it? We, probably like many many many of us, does not even know what they are doing, we believe doing something because we have thought so, never verified. We always expect thing to change and continue doing everything as we have learned. To change this, start doing things differently, and you'll see the change. Especially with law related manners.

this is eye-opening: there is a group with a mission to capture people into states.
"At the end of 2022, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (the agency mandated to prevent and reduce statelessness) counted 4.4 million stateless persons worldwide but estimated that the actual number may be over 10 million due to underreporting."
my theory is that very soon getting a citizenship will be no different than getting a google account: easy, free, and fun.
