Maybe Georgia is a good second-passport option? Any info on this?

"There's still a small percentage of countries, likely around 15, actively marketing versions of CIPs," says Katz.
"However, many more countries are considering adopting such programs. For example, Montenegro, Georgia and Kazakhstan are all working on creating programs, and several other countries in the Balkans are considering them."

Now, about this: "With regards to residency versus citizenship, it depends on your goal. If you want a place to live, to retire, or to have a bolthole (in the event of an economic meltdown or a serious domestic disturbance in your home country) then residency is fine. But if you want a second travel document in case yours gets revoked by your government", I wonder one thing:
If you have permanent residency in a country X and your thought-criminalizing home country Y revokes your passport, could you go to the consulate or embassy of country X and get a travel document enabling you to travel to country X, like a one-time, one-shot letter or temp passport? I seem to remember seeing this, people going back to their country with a letter valid for one transport (like, people getting deported)?
Concretely, if (when, I'm afraid) Western Europe enters civil war, would one (permanent resident of Panama) be able to go to Panama's embassy and obtain a letter or document, valid for one trip to Panama-city? Like the Red-cross or Church would give to people (and this included colorful German dudes traveling to Patagonia) after the end of WW2?
It is possible. Not really sure. One thing for certain: if you already have permanent residency in a country, it is far far more likely for that to happen than if you did not already have residency there. You would certainly go to the front of the line. They already know that you do not have a criminal record and that you have sufficient financial resources not to be a burden to the state.
