In my world we are told that their exists the fictitious and the real. The two only meet in what we would call the commercial fashion. Just consider for a moment that the real, flesh and blood, birthed by mother you, in your proper person has unknowingly gotten involved with a fictitious persona calling itself a citizen b/c of record of birth, having a name, ssn, address or residence or simply put contracts/binding agreements enabling them to access an even greater fictitous ideology. Such is the case for a number of what we think are countries are really just Corporate Ward States (see municipal corporations in Barron's Law Dictionary 5th Ed.) extending to its subjects/citizens/properties privaledges outlined in their legislation and fabrication of judicial authority. A recent discussion with a fellow seeker of truth revealed to me that China was actually a corporate name, just as “United States” means the several States of the United States, the District of Columbia, and the commonwealths, territories, and possessions of the United States- now go and look up possession in any legal dictionary.
