I myself would never want to leave the country of which I was born, and consider myself very lucky to have been born here and I am of Indian decent .

To choose dual citizenship I would choose Italy. I am of Italian decent also and have family ties in Italy and would love to meet them.

I would also choose Germany because their allies of America and have an awesome health care system.

Tough. Brazilian or Dutch. After that I'd pick Swedish, Australian, or French citizenship. Although I will likely end up trying to gain Canadian permanent residency (and possibly citizenship) in my lifetime...

I will actually have dual citizenship in just over 3 years (already UK and will get US). British citizens cannot renounce their nationality so even if you take another you can't lose it.

I do however wish that I had gained Dutch citizenship when I had the chance. One of my kids was born there but has British citizenship, which gets complicated because she has never lived in the UK. If it wasn't for the fact that my husband is British I probably would have just declared us all Dutch years ago. I spent my entire 20s living there and it is more of a home to me than Britain ever was. I doubt I'll get the chance to go back and qualify again.

Just to correct the notion that the U.S. does not allow dual citizenship, this is not true.
US State Department Services Dual Nationality

I'm a dual national.

what difference would it make if you got UK, Italian, French, Polish, Romanian or any other EU citizenship? Any of them gives you right to work and live in any place within the EU (+Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and microstates) at the same rights as hosting country's citizens.

Along with my current American citizenship, I'd love to have Swedish citizenship. Trying to move there!

It's just personal preference. Usually tied to heritage. For me it's nostalgia. I have UK nationality so I have no 'need' for Dutch nationality but it would be nice for my child who was born there to have it, and really I would rather consider myself Dutch than British. It is home to me.

As a practical matter the US State department doesn't care. If you want to renounce your US citizenship you have to submit the proper documents and pay some money. Even if you have to renounce your US citizenship during the process to naturalize with another country they still accept you as a US citizen. The State department discourages dual citizenship mainly because of possible legal messes but in reality they could careless.
