19. No country in Europe has birthright citizenship.
There are only about two dozen jus soli nations in the world, and most of them are in the Americas or Pacific (IIRC, only about 15% of the worlds population lives in countries with birthright citizenship). Not one is in Europe.

Most nations require that one or both parents be citizens of the country, or at least that the parents be in the country legally.
