If you are born on a plane, what country are you from?

Basically citizenship falls into two categories, "jus sanguinis" (the right of the blood - you need to be born to a national) and "jus soli" (the right of the soil - all those born in the nation can claim citizenship). If you're born in the territory (including airspace) of a jus soli nation then you can claim to be citizen of that nation (e.g. USA). If you're born over a country that doesn't recognize jus soli then you'd have no recognized status in that nation and you'd need to claim the jus sanguinis rights of your parents. You can use jus sanguinis to also claim citizenship from your grandparents in some countries.

Same goes for international waters and the moon.... You get jus sanguinis rights as default but as neither international waters nor the moon have jus soli rights then you have no additional citizenships to claim.

Back in the 1940s, the Manhattan Project to build the first atomic bomb was so secret that the scientists working on it... and their families... had to keep their location and addresses secret. So any children born to those scientists just had a Post Office Box number as their place of birth.

Where were you born? Army Post Office Box #422719.

What if it was over a disputed area of ocean?

If a baby is born in international waters, they are usually considered the same nationality as their mother, though in some cases they can apply for citizenship/nationality in a nearby country.

I would say that that mother lmao don’t live on that plane, so roflmao technically speaking her residential area would be his place of birth, regardless the skies he’s passing through at that present time. 😂
