Spain and France technically both have 2 year naturalisation routes, however there are strings attached. The French route requires 2 years of study in France plus the paperwork takes a long time. The Spanish route requires you to have one of a select number of passports.
Otherwise, there are a number of countries with 5 year routes as standard.
The French route still requires three years of pay stubs and tax returns and getting a job (and showing stability and integration, particularly professionally) after those two years of study, meaning it comes back to the standard five years of residency (plus the time to submit everything, go in for an interview, and get a response).
Is it less than 10 years though, because in the time it’d take to get PR, then citizenship, you’d probably already have it, that said I’d rather just go through that than go in the legion

And things might change in France as they’re about to discuss the new Law of Immigration to require ten years of residency instead of five.

Or you could join the foreign legion 🤣
they also require a long time of service, or you could get injured in combat and become French through ‘blood shed’
