The debates about citizenship and the inherent feelings that they provoke are an outstanding example of how artificial and unintuituve the concepts of nations and borders are.
Until we're no longer bound to the availability of physical resources, we need some way to manage it. Citizenship addresses that, even if it doesn't do that perfectly.
There will always be nations and borders. The alternative is the entire planet being a nation, and I have a feeling that would break down pretty fast. It would also be terrifying. Imagine being a whistleblower against the world government, and you have no jurisdiction to run to for amnesty.
