No, very few countries at this time give citizenship by birth.
USA and a few south and central american countries only. USA will come after you to pay taxes and the south americans make voting mandatory or they take away citizenship.

india stopped giving citizenship by birth.

however, most countries allow their citizens to pass their citizenship to their children-- the Bahamas law is discriminatory to unmarried men and to women married to foreign men.

do you remember the halcyon days when you paid for gas AFTER they put it in the car? Now you prepay, and with the new chip cards you have to go to the window to pay.

these lease to own agreements are ludicrous.
there is no protection in the law for seller or buyer.

i knew a woman who drafted, not one, but two lease-to-own agreements, on a property where she held a mortgage (wonder if her bank knew that).

twice the tenants would not come up with the additional payments to establish the down payments and requested a credit towards rent.

she finally sold it, but not after grumbling with the buyer's attorney who demanded she settled property taxes, utility bills prior to the sale.

she wanted to sell the place while having "payment plans" in place for tax and utilities. IOW, she was going to skip town and dump it on the buyer.

at least the buyer's attorney did his job, but boy, was she furious.

money for nothing, and the house for free.

I have known accountants who advise people not to pay mortgages and that late fees are illegal.

Gas Law of Work:

IOW-- this will never get done.

Well, they sent the Standard Bureau folks to inspect cars in Japan, of all places, so that the Bahamas would not be a dumping ground for unworthy vehicles.

They should have sent them to Exuma to inspect boats instead.

One time, on a cool afternoon, I borrowed a bike and rode from east end to montague. one time, one last time, it was way too dangerous.
