One interesting case is Michael Gogulski who renounced his US citizenship and is now a stateless person. See http://www.nostate.com/1227/press-release/ http://www.nostate.com/1227/press-release/ , excerpted below: "Gogulski, 36, renounced his citizenship on 8 December 2008 at the American embassy in Bratislava, surrendering his US passport and culminating a two-week process and months of personal preparations. He currently awaits a Certificate of Loss of Nationality of the United States confirming his loss of American citizenship. As Gogulski has no other citizenship, he is now a stateless person. 'I was disgusted to be associated through citizenship with the most dangerous gang of criminals in the world, the United States government....' Gogulski says that when he receives the Certificate of Loss of Nationality he will apply to the Slovak Interior Ministry for a Travel Document – similar to a passport – under the 1954 Convention on the Status of Stateless Persons, which Slovakia signed in 2000. He says that he has no plans to leave Bratislava until then, and that he recognizes that his life without citizenship will be more difficult, especially with respect to travel...."
