Why one has to be citizen of any country?

Many people are and want to be citizens of a country. One may like this one or that one although most are citizens of the country they were born in. (Kind of like religion although they claim later in life that this is a divine situation and only that religion guarantees salvation while others will bring you hell. Some then are even willing to die to 'safe' others and hardly ever occurs to them that it is rather pure coincident that they were born in this and not another religion)

One may feel very strongly about his/her country, but does it really matter? Or think of it this way, if one sees a person primarily as "white" or "black" and pays so much attention to that fact that it skews his view of other attributes of the object, then most people will agree there is a problem.

Try to think from larger perspective, if you were born French would you not like it because there is something in you that is American? Or is it the society and culture that makes us who we are? And then, as that seems rather obvious, can we 'change' by submerging and accepting another culture, perhaps one that we truly like despite seeing also the other's culture shortcomings. But most importantly here, is or would be such act some kind of "sin", some kind of act that should be punishable by society? formally or informally?

In any way, in addition to my soon to be 2 citizenships, I think I want to apply to become a citizen of Pitcairn Islands ... will be 51st person
