I remember reading ages ago that the best way to get a US citizenship was to swim ashore naked and pretend to have amnesia. I guess some iteration of this should work in most countries that are not landlocked or have big rivers.
โYou alright, Buddy? Do you remember anything?โ

You'd have to have an american accent though for it to work
The idea was that accents didn't matter. It was exploiting some bureaucratic hell where there is no way out if you don't provide your country of origin. Can't be deported if they don't know where to deport you to, I guess.
I wouldn't be sticking to US, though. Any country you can speak some language of should do.
Not if you forget how to talk also
