How hard is this?

you have to be saying all Americans are Britons forever. Or is that

They are US citizens for as long as they live, if they want to be.
Chzekoslavakia is a bad analogy, because that country became defunct.
As far as Britain and the US, a colonial could remain a British
subject and return
to England, many loyalists did just that.
Evidently this subject is a little more difficult than you are able to
understand.
So, if PR became independent, PR's will have a choice of
citizenship, and maybe, depending upon what PR elects to do, they
could
be dual citizens.
"What is Dual Citizenship: Dual citizenship means that an
individual is a citizen of two countries at the same time. It is
also possible to be a citizen of three or more countries.
However, every country has its own laws regarding dual citizenship.
Some countries allow it and others do not, while some countries
have no particular laws regarding dual citizenship.
Dual citizenship is not something that can be applied for.
It is a process that happens when a person becomes a citizen of
another country, in addition to his or her country of birth.
Dual citizenship occurs automatically for some individuals.
For example: a child is born in the United States to foreign parents.
In this example this child has U.S. Dual Citizenship since the child
is
automatically a citizen of the United States and a citizen of its
parent's home country.
The same applies to children of U.S. citizens born abroad where the
child is both a U.S. citizen and a citizen of the country of birth."
