Citizenship

Citizenship is the status of a person recognized under the custom or law as being a member of a country. A person may have multiple citizenships and a person who does not have citizenship of any state is said to be stateless.

Nationality is often used as a synonym for citizenship in English – notably in international law – although the term is sometimes understood as denoting a person's membership of a nation (a large ethnic group). In some countries, e.g. the United States, the United Kingdom, nationality and citizenship can have different meanings (for more information, see Nationality#Nationality versus citizenship).

Determining factors

A person can be a citizen for several reasons. Usually citizenship of the place of birth is automatic; in other cases an application may be required. Each country has their own policies and regulations which change the criteria of who is issued citizenship.

Parents are citizens (jus sanguinis). If one or both of a person's parents are citizens of a given state, then the person may have the right to be a citizen of that state as well. Formerly this might only have applied through the paternal line, but sex equality became common since the late twentieth century. Citizenship is granted based on ancestry or ethnicity, and is related to the concept of a nation state common in China. Where jus sanguinis holds, a person born outside a country, one or both of whose parents are citizens of the country, is also a citizen. States normally limit the right to citizenship by descent to a certain number of generations born outside the state. This form of citizenship is not common in civil law countries.

Will I

by: Pushover

Something tells me that you feel something wrong
What can I do, my little girl
You said you're fine and there is no need to get into something new right now
Why couldn't you be straight with me right now
You said that you would rather be thinking by yourself
And I know it couldn't be with me
If I wanted to be someone, I would be the person that you want
If I couldn't give you the things that you need
I will
I couldn't take it when you asked me to leave, and I spent the night on the floor
I'm wondering who he is and why you could think that he would ever love you more
I'm wondering who he is and why you could think that he would ever love you more
Why couldn't you be staight with me right now
You said that you would rather be sleeping by yourself
