| My first choice would be Mexico, since I plan to retire here in a few years. If the question were modified a bit -- In which foreign country would you apply for citizenship? -- it might not be all that hypothetical in my case. Although I wouldn't consider giving up my U.S. citizenship, I could see several advantages to having dual citizenship. |

Denise, you're so deep! A whole month! And 12 years ago (I'm sure nothing has changed).

Dear Teacher Lindsey,
All the way up. With a red-hot poker. |

| Don't hoot in derision, but I'm seriously thinking about China.[b] It would simpify my life now in my declining years. Besides, I'm becoming convinced that, at the core, all governments are the same. (BTW, I hold a U.S. passport.) |

| If I could add one to my current one, I would try and get my German passport.. I forget who said it, but what were the strict laws concerning German citizenship? |

I'd probably pick Thailand, as I've always wanted to go there anyway!

I think a Swiss passport would be possibly the best passport to hold. I once dated a Swiss girl and had the chance to go there. An amazingly beautiful and clean country. And they all have money as well! (which is nice)  |

Sorry for the late reply, but I was waiting for the polls to come back up after the big crash..
I already have two of the nationalities on the list. The last person I seriously considered marrying had dual Colombian/US citizenship. Thought that would have been a nice pair to add to my collection, but unfortunately it didn't pan out..
Have a good day..
Lozwich. |

I thought this poll was interesting....
I already have Guatemalan and US citizenship. I wouldn't mind Spanish citizenship I love the lifestyle. Also an EU passport would really open a lot of doors when applying for jobs in W. Europe. |

I think I would vote for Australian. It might have to do with my boyfriend being obsessed with the land down under (he's officially Swiss. BTW, he had the choice of a German or Swiss passport and he, IMHO, wisely chose the Swiss one). We're planning on moving there once he gets his Australian equivalent to the US green card (already in process--he's a computer guy). Although, I do love Europe (being from the US and having lived in Europe now for 7 years), so maybe Ireland. Oh, I don't know...

I already have UK and Canadian. I think I'd add US to the list, just because it looks like the chance of getting a job that pays a livable wage there would be much, much higher than in Canada, but then that's why so many Candians go to the States.
Plus, I'm in Japan, and they love Americans! But for some reason not Candians...strange, that. |

I choose New Zealand
A nice, quiet country: not too unlike my native Canada.
Except even MORE out of the way.
Now, if only someone would colonize Antartica... |

| I'd swap my USA passport for a Kiwi or Australian passport in a heartbeat. I've learned to enjoy to rugby league and I have also learned to enjoy cricket, of all things! And New Zealand has feijoas...yummmm! |
