Expatriot

There's no place like somewhere else.

Expatriot: An angry person living in a country other than that of birth. Someone who got over having a single definition to go by. Or felt they were forced to by circumstances, by political affiliation, or simply by irreconcilable differences.

While most "expats" retain the citizenship they always had, possibly adding a second one if there is a good reason to, the expatriot probably throws away the original upon earning eligibility for a new one.

And they do it with a vengeance, because that is what this is about, like hitting yourself over the head with a stick because you're angry. And that makes you more angry. Which makes you angrier still. Which all this is based on.
