    The building is still in the same spot, just not a part of the country anymore.

    All the people in it are no longer citizens, and your ex-country's government seems to not want that specific building in their borders again for some reason.

      I live right at the German border, but not in Germany. I am German. I'd shrug, since by your rules I remain German.

          Well, I live in this building. So, presumably, set all media dialogue back to English I guess. Get a travel visa?

            There is a movie that kind of approaches this concept-- the Terminal. The main guy, while in the airport, sees his country erupt in a war on TV and his nation is dissolved. He can't go back since all flights to and fro have been canceled. He hasn't passed customs, so he isn't legally in the country. So he kind of has to live off the facilities in the airport.

              Become a Sovereign Citizen, literally.

              Then proceeds to get invaded by America 1 nanosecond after this happens (cuz I'd be surrounded and landlocked by the USA).

              And if I shoot at the invaders, I'd could technically I trigger NATO Article 5.

              So I'd be dead, very very dead

                I work from home, so I guess I can stop paying taxes? It's not like I was thinking I'd get a real retirement anyway.

                You can't even work anymore, pretty sure any work permission you had is no longer valid since your legal status is gone.

                  Don't need to be a citizen to visit a country.

                  You need passport to go through checkpoint if your country didn't have free movement between country, which mean if no one set up an immigration checkpoint at my home for me to get through then i would've been an illegal immigrant.

                    That is wildly different.

                      Maybe I misunderstood the prompt, I wasn't taking it that we'd have no nationality at all. Generally speaking, most pieces of land tend to be claimed by a nation with maybe Antarctica as an exception. Alright then I guess I'd need to add a "desperately try to acquire citizenship or get my current boss to pay me under the table" step 🙂
