Your country no longer exists... Where were you born?

I vote Kuala Lumpur, as SuperMan likes the curry laksa, la.

The drop down menu when I did my Bio metrics did not have the correct answer, and quite a few incorrect options.

I think they have caught up now but a few years back the Naturalisation Questions had not caught up with the Act of Union 1707

That's not going to sound very logical if the birth certificate indicates a different country than you indicated you were born. Funny thing about logic is that it only works well when thought through completely, including eliminating logical fallacies and considering unintended consequences. In this case though, there really are no notable consequences to the kind of choices being discussed, as long as you use either the correct past name or correct current name of the country. City names change too. St. Petersburg comes to mind.

And now I have just one more thing to be paranoid about)))

Interestingly enough, this appears to be another one of those USCIS/NVC conflicts:

 

NVC: Uses the current place of birth.  Forms DS-160, DS-260,

Green Cards also have the current place of birth written on them. 

 

USCIS instructions for I-765, I-765V, I-601, I-602 say to write the place of birth at the time of one's birth.  Form I-130 is silent on this issue, so I guess it is discretionary?
