I did't choose where to born but I can choose where to live
First of all what choice we had when we were born?
2085 babies were born every day in 2018[1] and since the first beginning each one will get the label, "born in the country X". The place of birth decide for majority of new born children either you will get enough food, education, social security and wealth or the place will decide for you to be hungry, sick, uneducated and poor. Is not your skin color or your background or your beliefs that shape your life in past, present or future but is only place that mark your prosperity or hardship. Although babies don't have own desire except eating, exploring and sleep even when infants get conscious at 5 months[2] they can't really be aware of so many things as economy, justice, corruption, inequality or what they do on this planet. Later in life many children maybe asked their parents why they been born and in response they will find out that their parents wanted to have them this response makes them feel disconnected and as me and many others I felt often my life as service to please the parents how they want me to be. To implant a feeling of respect and duty to older people is very characteristic for those who don't want to lose control and supremacy therefore many children feel controlled of their own lives.
Of course parents want the best for their children, to enjoy their lives and have wonderful experiences but some parents go too far by wanting their children to never experience hard things[3]. Simply talking, children lose their ability of self judgment, self improvement, problem solving, self exploring and most important self confidence in what they doing.

Once born everyone get unique mark for the place they have been born and because is so important that we have even this mark in our passports in our culture in our history or banking system. There is many definition about what is nationality for example: nationality is a group of people of the same race, religion, traditions, etc[4] . People often taking by mistake nationality belonging to birth place but in terms of constitution you are only a citizen of that place. Let's look one example: if you are originated from Africa, Asia or Europe and have Canadian citizenship does it mean that you still have nationality of Africa, Asia or Europe? The answer is Yes, because citizenship is not the same as nationality. Nationality is connected to the group of people with their own values and citizenship are the same people with nationality who are in legal relationship between them and a state[5]. One example is a country where 54 nationality lives together and share the same place and citizenship, this place is called Vietnam[6]. Another example is individuals who have more than one citizenship, this is allowed by law of many countries but in the same time you can't have more than one nationality because you still belong to the same group of people but just who live in a different place. If we know that nationality is not connected to your birth place why many nationalists claim that they fight or protected their home land against foreigners? Well because this people still doesn't know the difference between nationality and patriotism and they actually are upset only with other citizenships. I personally don't believe neither in the word nationality or patriotism whatever it mean either group of people of the same believes and tradition or devotion to a piece of earth or some other invented story. However I know that human suffer, feel hunger and fear regardless if you have nationality, citizenship or are patriot.
[3]Now we are clear with birth place, nationality and citizenship and considering that we can't even make our choice where to born but still have our silly note book by name passport i'm considering to choose to live where I would like to.
There is many countries in the world and the exact number of them are still not established. On the question "How many countries are on the planet?" you will be surprised to get different answers depending who you ask. Many organisations and associations have their own vision of how many countries should be and still not clear who are setting the rules and why. One thing is sure that this organisations don't cooperate together and have contrasting opinions depending who are lobbying this interests. As a result to establish only one number of countries either is for sport, politics, culture or geography was always a question of money, influence, corruption and domination. In any case is confusing with how many countries are out there so next time someone ask you how many countries are in the world your answer will be not a easy one.
Though is puzzling with how many countries there is, it shouldn't confuse you to not explore, discover and learn a new place either is thru studies, work, traveling or family it is great opportunity both for you and those who you will meet there to learn from each other about the world we living in.
