NaRvIcK DeViL on the British Citizen point you are quite correct. Nationals of a Republic are citizens. Nationals of monarchies and autocracies are supposed to be subjects. I do not know why we go for citizen when it is currently impossible until such time as we become the United Republic of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. My theory is that it is to make us feel more modern and somehow included in the grand scheme of things.
