    Staying a citizen of a country you haven’t lived in for decades seems unnecessary

    Until the current country turns fascist and it’s nice to have a second option.

        Until the EU takes over. Hungary is the benchmark. It also doesn’t help to be in another EU country if the EU sanctions the bank accounts.

          The EU can reach any bank account on SWIFT, they own it.

          Dutch authorities openly say that if you get a speeding fine and leave to eg. Turkiye, they will simply take it from your Turkish account.

            Do you have a reference? I could only find this:

            If we are unable to transfer the case to another EU Member State, your name will be added to the Dutch Tracing Register. This means that an investigating officer (such as a police officer or a customs officer) can stop you and ask you to pay the fine on the spot. If you fail to do so, they can impound your vehicle.

            Closest:

            In addition, if you’re driving a rental car, the rental company may be notified of the violation, and the fine may be deducted from your deposit or charged directly to your credit card.
