I think that you are born where you are born. Children born at sea may be considered "international citizens" and may be allowed to "pick their country", I don't know. Historically, if you're born in the United States, your a U.S. citizen, but if your parents were immigrants, you probably had dual citizenship unless your parents renounced their motherland. Just my take on the issue. Lila
It used to be that, if you were born at sea, you were a citizen of the country where the ship would next dock.
