That’s bizarre... so you could never set foot in a country and be a citizen?
Both countries would have to agree on the policy or it would be moot. Unless I’m missing something, Norway can’t determine who is a Swedish citizen and Sweden can’t determine who is a Norwegian citizen. The story does not make it clear... I bet she was born in Sweden.

Well, my grandmother was definitely born in Cristiana (Oslo). Her parents were married but father died before she was born, maybe that had something to do with it. And she did (eventually) set foot in Sweden. He mother later married a Swede and moved back to Sweden. But Grandma was never a Norwegian — and quite proud of that.
