Fleeing your birth country to avoid national service, applying for citizenship in your new host country, and then never returning to your country of origin is a pretty strong signal. Naturalizing in yet another country is a fairly decent emphasis. Not sure what you're looking for. There is more to citizenship than holding passport you haven't used in thirty years.

Apply that line of thinking the other way around ("There is more to US citizenship than holding a passport"). Its horrible by implication. I'd prefer if nationality was being seen as bureaucratic artifact and not having more meanings attributed to it.
