The issuing country is the government that issued the passport under their authority, not the geographical location. | |

Most people I've met on my travels who identify as Palestinian had a passport of some other country - I think Jordan was such. And all but one person I've met from Kuwait don't have Kuwaiti citizenship but either had Kuwait passports or passports from other Middle Eastern countries. | |
