Assuming you aren’t a citizen of any country, is there a place you can go in the world where you wouldn’t be considered illegal/undocumented?
If so, where?
If not, that really annoys me, first of all. Second of all, to where would a country deport you if you just aren’t a citizen of any country? Space?
“Illegal” doesn’t really mean anything in this context. No such thing as a law saying that a non-citizen needs permission to be anywhere.

…yet.
You can be undocumented in many of the poorer parts of the world and no one gives a shit that you exist, what you do or what happens to you. Of course, those also happen to be extremely dangerous places to live. But yeah the modern concept of “national citizenship” is just completely retarded.
Clayton -
Isn’t it a federal crime to be in the country illegally? I know it’s at least a state crime in my state (Arizona) even though I think that part of SB1070 has been put on hold due to the federal judge who ruled against it. Assuming I simply revoked my citizenship in the United States and the police arrested me, to where would they deport me? Clearly they’d be able to tell I’m from the United States.
Brian,
I too pine for an area where I can be an “outlaw”, yet still located in my home climate (temperate costal deciduous). Unfortunately, it seems like that particular biome is rather popular with our species…
sovereign citizen is a contradiction in terms.
