Addendum to Response to Jeff.
Perhaps a source of integrity, the same one used to define state and national might convince you to dig a little deeper into what you are getting into.
After reading these definitions are you sure you still want to define your self as a State or American National?

Refer to the US Code, Title 8 section 1401. I quote from on line government source.
8 USC Sec. 1401.
The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a)a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;

8 USC Sec. 1101;
(21) The term “national” means a person owing permanent allegiance to a state.

(38) The term “United States”, except as otherwise specifically herein provided, when used in a geographical sense, means the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands of the United States, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

(21) (3) The term “person” means an individual or an organization.

(31) The term “permanent” means a relationship of continuing or lasting nature, as distinguished from temporary, but a relationship may be permanent even though it is one that may be dissolved eventually at the instance either of the United States or of the individual, in accordance with law.

(28)The term “organization” means, but is not limited to, an organization, corporation, company, partnership, association, trust, foundation or fund; and includes a group of persons, whether or not incorporated, permanently or temporarily associated together with joint action on any subject or subjects.

(36)The term “State” includes the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands of the United States, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
