The whole concept of getting citizenship where you're born is mostly an American concept. Though, if you do get born in a place where you get citizenship based on location alone, your parents will probably need to figure out a lot of paperwork to sort things out.

Most of North America and South America operates under Jus sanguinis -- you get citizenship for being born in country, even if your parents are not citizens.

I think you meant “jus soli” (“law of soil”) - “jus sanguinis” means “law of blood.”

You are right!

North America and South America are America, though?
