No. Since the individual is fundamentally sovereign, you have the right to choose your own political allegiance. (Ref, Art. 15(2), Universal Declaration of Human Rights).

The World Passport is the official travel document of the World Citizen Government. It is based on the inalienable right of all humans to travel freely on their own planet. This right has been partially identified by Article 13(2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
- It identifies the individual as a sovereign with the right to freedom of travel, a right agreed to in principle by all Member-States of the United Nations (Ref., Art 56, UN Charter).
- It represents this right in a form already acceptable to nations, i.e., a passport. Thus nations must consider it.
- Since many individuals, especially refugees and stateless persons, accept and use it, national authorities are obliged to accept it both for motives of principle and necessity.
Nations determine not the right but the practice of travel. Nation’s arbitrarily decide who can travel and how they conduct their travel.
However, nations all agreed through the United Nations Charter to “observe and respect fundamental human rights.” But, the national passport and visa system imposed on people, deny and thus violate their pledged confirmation of human rights.
