For citizenship consideration, it varies widely. It depends on which country the parents are from and the country where the child is born. If the parents are non citizens and of differing citizenship, it makes a difference. Also if the parents have permanent residency etc.
Being born in the USA confers citizenship fairly automatically with a few exceptions. This is NOT true of many countries – being born there might not entitle the child to citizenship in the country of birth.
If the parents are both citizens of the same country, their child is almost always entitled to citizenship in that country regardless of where they are born. Some paperwork might be necessary but it is almost guaranteed.
