When did you begin to take on the new identity?
Do you think you will stay in the new country?
Where you fascinated with the new country before you moved there? For example, were you a Francophile or Anglophile before you moved to France or England?

I wouldn't define myself of a member of the new country I prefer to stick with my birth country because I love it so much and I like being part of it, I wouldm't want to take on a new identity thou I'm glad with my own...... I dont think I'll stay in the new country long because I miss my family and friends who I haven't seen in four years.... I was fascinated by the new country when I moved there but not so fascinated now, life is hard there and its not very welcoming to immigrants, so i'll pack up as soon as I can and go to birth country Jamaica and I am 100% glad to be from there!! :)

If you move young enough, you probably identify with the new country more than the old. In most cases, expatriates know they are culturally more like their country of origin than the country they are living in.
I am a US citizen living in Costa Rica. I have no plans to return and prefer life here to that of the US, but I know very well that I am not a Costa Rican and culturally I will never really be one. I am an expat American who is happy to be living in Costa Rica. I do not hate my former country, but my life here is just better for various reasons.

As an American, I tend to think that even if I moved to somewhere else, say France, and lived there for 50 years, I would still consider myself an American.

the place in which you spend most of your life would be considered ur country, even though u where born in another country. think about it if u go to the country u were born in u will feel like a foreigner!!!

When I moved to Mars I immediately started calling myself Martian.

I would say...That you are of your new country and you can mention your birth country.
