Emotionally it's definitely a good thing, anyone who hates their country of birth can renounce their citizenship but I have simply built a good life elsewhere and wouldn't want my old passport involuntarily taken away from me, it's emotionally valuable to be able to go back and show the old passport and be welcomed just like one has always been, even if my daily life nowadays is somewhere else.

Does the number of stars have any defined meaning? What is the definition of 7 stars? What would be required to remove or add a star to that rating?
