In the US, I’ve heard that countries like the USSR and North Korea prevent citizens from leaving. Is this propaganda or do AES countries tend to prevent more people leaving than others?

I have not lived in the US for most of my adult life, and have been in the process of renouncing for a while now, as I need to to get my new citizenship.
I was interrupted by covid, because they just decided to not let anyone renounce during that time period, so I have started my application process over. You’re lucky if you only get the couple thousand charge, because the chances are very high that they will find some tax that you didn’t pay you suddenly owe now.
Honestly, paying income tax to the US for the rest of my life is probably the easier route. At least most people get it all returned.
