None. You will be treated like a foreigner.

You could commit a crime in another country and then serve time as a "guest" of that country.\nBut seriously, many countries give away citizenship in much the same way we do in America. Typically those seeking citizenship come from economically depressed, or politically unstable "3rd world" countries. Americans can travel freely throughout most of the world because there is little concern that we will remain as a burden upon their social system.  There are plenty of job opportunities in other countries that are open to Americans. Once there, you can apply for citizenship. Of course you can apply at any foreign Embassy or Consulate here in the USA... but without "loads of cash" it would be more honorable of you to have gainful employment in that country first. Do an Internet search for jobs abroad.

If you are in Europe, go to your local government representative and they will advise you.\n\nIf you are in the United States you usually go to your local post office to get issued an American passport.  If you want to go to Europe, you will need an American issued Visa for Europe from the same source.\n\nThey are correct that internet sources offering help are normally scams and even if not, you are paying extra fees for something that you would get from government sources for less.

I'm currently reading a book called "United States of Europe" by T.R. Reid.  This book is thin and very easy to read even if you don't have a lot of interest in the subject.  It covers European attitudes about the new EU and about Americans in the preface and first chapter.  In fact the attitude of the citizens of Europe is the main focus of this book.\n\nIn general, Europeans, specially the younger generation are excited about the EU and feel themselves to be EU citizens.  The fact that political and economic borders have also disappeared creates a situation that people can live and work anywhere they choose.  \n\nI think it's great that you are looking into doing a paper on this as European unification will be marked as one of the greatest turning points in the history of mankind and we are alive at the time of its formation.  It's kind of like being there in the early days of Rome.\n\nI don't have any links, but the book I recommended is cheap to buy used from amazon and will answer many of your questions.\n\nGood luck.

To be born in the United States. Then you're automatically a citizen. Can't get much easier than that.

It exists everywhere but more prominent in countries where discrimination is...\nYou will probably miss the way you live in your native country.\nIn your first few months, you will have a hard time to adapt and will probably feel that you don't like to go to school;;; WELL IT DEPENDS.\nStudying abroad will make you feel home sick.\nYou cannot do your usual lifestyle and sometimes you need to adapt to new home, environment, friends, etc.\nFinancial stuffs.. if any...\nAnd, sometimes feel you are an outcast..\n\nSo, be friendly there if you plan to study abroad...\n\nI am not discouraging you and if you have the opportunity to study there, that is so great grab it.... this is a life-changing decision.

You could get a job in the U.S. and anywhere in the E.U.  That would be worth it to me, but I speak a European language besides English and love Europe.

Depends on what citizenship you have

Yes, there is a difference because the people who born in US have a constitutional citizenship, that’s a citizenship derive by constitution but there are people who actually are US citizens but don’t born in US, nether in US military base camp and that people have a statutory citizenship and that’s derived by law. That people enjoy must of the benefits in the constitution and the responsibilities but not all of theme. For example the people who are from Puerto Rico are US citizens but that people can’t vote for the president of the US in Puerto Rico, if that people move to Florida or New York or other state of the nation then they can vote for the president. .

The only prerequisite that you have to meet is to be a born or naturalized citizen. Other than that, there are MANY ways to be a "true American".

EU and USA have bilateral agreements. So, just as a EU citizen needs a US Employment Authorization Document (EAD),  a US citizen needs a Greek Work Permit. You can contact the US embassy in Greece http://athens.usembassy.gov/\n\n, or even the Greek embassy. http://www.greekembassy.org/Embassy/content/en/Root.aspx\n\nThey should be able to help you.

Paying Taxes is pretty much the only disadvantage to becoming a U.S. Citizen. In the U.S., we have more chances to live a better life like going to college, learning a trade that could land you a better paying job, and the chance to say what you think about the government, which in any other country you would be in trouble for speaking out against your government. I don't know about everybody else, but I think paying taxes is about the only disadvantage to being a U.S. citizen. No one realizes how good we have it here in the U.S., they think it is this terrible place, but the U.S.has the yard with the greenest grass, so to speak.
