    I have dual Japanese and Italian citizenship. There’s a legal loophole in Japan that when you become an adult and Japan asks you if you want to keep the Japanese citizenship or not, you just say “I haven’t decided yet”. You keep saying that every time they ask, and they’re legally not allowed to deny you citizenship.

I would suggest holding a green card if you aren't sure, gives you all the rights and priviliges except voting and be voted for. Honestly, do you want to vote for one of two old guys who really suck at running a country? Also ask Snowden, citizenship can be revoked.
