Accountant here. You cannot end up with no tax residency! Even if you were to time your stay to the second into say 5 jurisdictions (cause then you'd stay for 73 days in each, save for leap years), you'd end up paying taxes to the one, which you have the strongest ties to. Furthermore, certain taxes don't apply to you as a person! You always pay taxes such as VAT (you pay it, the vendor just collect's it from you and forwards it to the state, as far as your interaction with them is concerned), car tax (typically follows where the car is registered), or Property tax (follows where the property is built) are all typically paid irrespective of your tax residency!
Typically for income tax (except for US) your nationality is the last factor! If you stay fewer than 183 days in one country, it goes to your primary residence, where you have majority of your interests (family, primary source of income, etc.), where you typically stay, and only last one is citizenship. Furthermore, some nations can have it differently on peer-to-peer basis! Different tests and different order of tests taken to determine residency!
