You can get a passport from another country if they're flexible or need the money. Just don't carry both. (You give up the opportunity for assistance from the US embassy if you're carrying a non-US passport only.

I can’t imagine ever needing assistance from a US embassy.

My family availed itself of that assistance in 1978. Probably not useful in NZ in 2023, but that's not really useful info. It's not like you're in Shit Central and needing a flight out.

I'm not saying embassies and consulates are useful - they demonstrably are (in fact, it's generally easier for me, as a citizen of a Commonwealth nation, to access some consular services than it is for other people). 

Simply pointing out to GS that *I* would have no use for an *American* embassy.

Understood, which is why I phrased my reply the way I did.

When I was stationed in Sicily I was the "official presence" on the Special Services tour bus. The bus would go to various areas with a load of bored wives for shopping, gawking, and just plain "get me outta here!"ness. I was required to count heads on the bus and heads off the bus. If they didn't come out even I was notify the local US officials, usually a consulate unless there was a US military facility near by. Never lost anybody, happily. I had names and xeroxes of their dependent ID cards for each person on the bus.

The regular driver was an old Sicilian we called "Pop" Lemoli. (sp?) He knew all the cool spots and after we'd deposited the pax at their hotel he and I would go slumming. You have to see an 60ish fat man trying to do some apache dancing to appreciate weird and wonderful. Hehe

Nations don't hand out passports willy-nilly, as it denotes citizenship.
