you are of the same nation as your parents, just the same as if you are born in a foreign country....you are not automatically entitled to citizenship just because you are born there.

It depends.
If you are flying once the door is closed on an airplane the country that plane is registered is the international country. So if you had your baby on an American plane flying over Japan the child would still be born in American territory and remain so until the plane landed and the doors were open.
If you were aboard a boat then it would be the choice of either the registered vessels location or that of the parents.
Citizenship is also very depended on the country. Although being born in American makes you an American citizen, being born in other countries does not always mean the same. Even if you are born in the UK the only way to be a British citizen is if your parents were.

Good question, don't know. You could either be on a boat, or flying over the international waters.
What is your citizenship if you are flying FROM Mexico TO Canada, and are born while flying OVER the U.S. on a non-stop flight or vice versa?? And does it matter what your parents' citizenship is?? Does the country's ownership of the airline have anything to do with it?

I guess if you are born in international water you get your citizenship from your parents nationality.

You are a citizen of the world and of your parents. You can apply to the UN for an international passport and are free to travel to any country in the world by right of citizenship. Side note, if a child were to be born in space, the same rules would apply. In some countries, you could not vote.

I believe you have citizenship of whatever country the vessel you are on is from. For instance, if you are on a ship that is an American ship, you are an American. A British ship, you are a Brit, and so forth.
Edit: Now that I have thought about it, it could also be that the baby gets the same citizenship as his or her mother has.

You are a citizen of the country that flagged the boat you were in.

Perhaps this pdf can help answer your question. I didn't take the time to read the whole thing.
