Don't do it unless you are already having, or guaranteed, another citizenship!

Stateless-people tend to be subject to state-abuse, due to not being "authorized" or "not having their papers in order"!

As-in tossed-in-jail because they aren't "legal", kind of problems.

Get your other-citizenship secure, 1st.
