Honestly the most interesting thing about this to me is that there is at least one issue where *Pakistan* of all countries has the most progressive laws in not only all of Asia but more progressive than anywhere in Europe.
PAKISTAN being the most progressive country in the Eastern Hemisphere on anything was not on my bingo card.
What is light blue?
The old world VS the new world
New world best world, but we already knew that
Pakistan doesn’t have FULL birthright citizenship, eg children born to diplomats can’t claim it, nor can unregistered immigrants from enemy countries (basically Indian) a law made during the migration era when Muslims moved to Pakistan to avoid persecution in India.
Afghan refugee children legally could but the state made it practically impossible unless one of the parents was Pakistani.
Unironically send Alito to Italy and let him sort it out himself while he’s stateless
as an American, if you aren’t born a citizen, do you have to apply for citizenship after you’re born in the gray countries?
But but Trump said America is the “OnLy cOuNtRy tHaT dOeS iT tHiS wAy!”

I believe India abolished it because the number of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and Myanmar was very high. At that time (and even now) India couldn’t afford to support more people.
Gray is the way to go. Citizenship should be earned.
The pride of the New World
Til most of the world is racist
Edit: Nigeria is just an idea. Anyone can be Nigerian. Why the downvotes?
I’ve been saying this a lot today, but it’s genuinely heart warming that it got upheld, No one in my generation from my family is born here, I was the first. Many have called people like me an “anchor baby”
But I’m 21 years old. I went through the American school system, I listen to American music, and I love my country even though it only really started loving people like me in 1963
The blood in my veins shouldn’t matter, this where I was born, this is where I will be buried, and even though my parents were not born here, they deserve to be buried in the land that they had their child in. And even more, they deserve to benefits of living here, they created another citizen.
That map is misleading.
First, birthright citizenship just means that you are a citizen from birth. What the map seems to be about is „jus soli“.
Second, the colors are misleading. Chile is dark blue but a child born in Chile to diplomats or non-resident foreigners can only apply for citizenship at the age of 18. East Timor is gray but a child born in East Timor to foreigners can apply for citizenship at the age of 18.
On the other hand, cyan can mean anything. Colombia is cyan but anyone born in Colombia is a citizen as long as one of the parents is a citizen or a legal resident. But other countries in cyan have way stricter requirements, such as one of the parents having to be born in the country.
I’m an American and I’m against birthright citizenship. Too many people take advantage of the system and I feel like jus sanguínea or whatever it’s called makes more sense because blood matters more than being born in a certain area divided by invisible lines. Perhaps there’s still a path to removing birthright citizenship despite the recent news?
I know one kind woman who was an anchor baby and well she was raised in Mexico and can’t speak any English and never went to school in America nor went through the same shared struggles like 9/11 and 2016 and according to the government we are both equal? It’s just not ideal
As a mongolian, im ALWAYS proud when my country just stands out among our neighbors 🔥🔥
Pakistan legally has birthright citizenship (*jus soli*) under Section 4 of the Citizenship Act, 1951, but it exists only on paper. The state actively refuses to grant it to the millions of second- and third-generation Afghans born entirely on Pakistani soil.
To justify this, the courts effectively killed *jus soli* through **judicial precedent**:
**The Root Precedent (*****Ghulam Sanai*****, 1999):** The Peshawar High Court completely negated birthright by ruling that the birth article *cannot* be read separately from the descent article. They decreed that you can’t get citizenship by soil unless a parent is already Pakistani.
**The Follow-ups (*****Saeed Abdi Mehmud*****, 2018 &** ***Sana Ullah*****, SC 2024):** Building on that precedent, the courts ruled **NO**, cementing that refugee status blocks automatic documentation.
Thank God most of the world has common sense.
A map without a legend/key is crazy
Useless map. Not nearly nuanced enough, what in the world? The laws in these places are very, very detailed.
A bit doubtful about Mongolia. Never heard we have some kind of birthright citizenship
It’s a pet peeve of mine when mapmakers use very similar colors on maps when they really don’t need to. It’s even more annoying when they don’t include a key with a visual representation of the colors when they are so similar.
Just put the key on the map
full birthright is the way
