Just make sure you have the options available.

We'd have two options. UK and Ireland. You'll
see one flag or the other flying in different
parts of Belfast. The formal government is UK,
but many look to Dublin. Would seem fair enough
to let people make their own choice. For us, the
default answer would be UK; but many would want
to make a different selection (perhaps 20%+
of the population.)
Likewise anyplace else where nationality is an
issue. Give all the possible choices and let
people self select.
Make reasonable defaults; but make dissent easy.
