Jus soli (law of the soil) and jure/jus sanguinis (law by the ancestors) are the two types of citizenships. Every individual acquires anyone citizenship among these, and it is contingent upon the government of that particular country. Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Pakistan, Jamaica, North America, most of South America and few other countries grant unrestricted jus soli kind of citizenship to their citizens whereas countries such as Italy, Germany, Armenia, India, Iran, Ireland and others grant citizenship by the latter method, i.e., jure sanguinis.
